Not sure if this has been posted before, but there is a whole series of African Bush Pilots on youtube. Pretty interesting. Here's the first one and you can go to youtube to get the rest.

great. I liked this better than "Flying Wild Alaska" or Alaska Wingmen". Quality of the video is good and content is better (no trumped up drama). all they need are a couple attractive women pilots!

Episode 4 had one!

It's an enjoyable series and it's nice to see a show highlighting the difficulties (and costs!) involved with getting into the aviation industry as a pilot. It's a road I've taken myself, abet I ended up in Indonesia rather than Africa.

Flying wise, I think Flying Wild Alaska has more enjoyable footage though.

Now if only someone would come out to Papua and make a TV show....

Pretty funny.....major drama....a couple of showers, apparently localized. Can he make it between them before they merge? Oh, MY!

Or, since its totally flat country, maybe GO AROUND the damn things band continue on your way?

Hokey.

AOFTV will run out of adventures sooner or later. Invite them out. Show them how to land uphill while swerving on one wheel to miss someone's goat.

Check out the first show at 7:17 to 7:24 or so. The plane A2-BOK is taxiing with the pitot cover still on while she talks about the danger!

Don't you hate it when that happens? That is, when it's caught on video.....
