2010 Nov 20- flight approach Olemilei from ben wilhelmi on Vimeo.
Gol mountains, northern Tanzania, not far from volcano Lengai.
Flying Medical Service gives me the utmost pleasure to fly there on one airstrip wedged between hills. I posted a video on Olemilei already, with a dive in a gorge.
here is the approach down the hill, a low pass and return for landing amongst peaks.
2010 Oct 23- flight Take Off Oljoro from ben wilhelmi on Vimeo.
Oljoro, a tiny Masai hamlet at the foot of the Gol mountains, not far from lake Natron. Another Flying Medical Service airstrip where outreach clinics take place.
On this video, a take off on a bush airstrip followed by some beautiful typical African savannah filmed from the aircraft.
I couldn't watch enough of these documentaries on Africa when I was a child. And here I am!
2010 Oct 13- flight Olbalbal from ben wilhelmi on Vimeo.
Olbalbal, a small village and a pond on the western Ngorongoro crater rim.
Beautiful area out there. The vista is stunning, a pond that becomes a lake during the rainy seasons, the Gol mountains, a bit of the Serengeti plains, the high slopes of the western rim...and pagans! "Can you imagine, pagans?!!" had asked me once Brother Francis. "Yes very well, good for them" I was tempted to answer. Poor guy, his life seemed devoted to convert these pagans.
That day, while performing the usual low pass to check on the airstrip status, I noticed a platoon of would-be soldiers training. Training? Well I thought I could help a bit and I "strafed" them, big time. Now they know the feeling of an aircraft diving on them like an eagle on a mouse!
On the video, they can be seen starting to dive.
My early videos when the video gear as startpped inside the aircraft. Now the lens points outside, much better quality and view downwards.
