flyhighwithmike Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Hi all, here is the next video of my life living and working in Indonesia! 8 1
SDQDI Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Keep the Vids coming Mike. Someone posted a link to a doco on SusiAir a while ago, it was very interesting:thumb up: I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would like to see more videos:wink: Ps welcome to the forum:wave:
Guest Andys@coffs Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Mike I enjoy this and see it as a low cost extension to the series that was done a few years back about foreigners flying for suziair that was shown on commercial TV...... But if I could offer a suggestion for you to consider.....when you are speaking into the go pro, slow down a little, and later while mixing in the background music, lower the volume of it when you are speaking......the issue I have is that I don't know the airports or the country well so don't pick up on names and places etc....... Overall however fantastic.... I take it that the bulge that is often shown on the caravan RH Wing is the weather radar head? Andy

Overall however fantastic.... I take it that the bulge that is often shown on the caravan RH Wing is the weather radar head? Andy Hi Andy, thank you. I will be doing a very low budget version of that:) I will however try and get another gopro on the wing or something for different angles. All suggestions are welcome, thank you. It is something I am having to get used to, talking to the camera. I will definitely soften the music when talking, I have just been a little lazy with the editing but have noticed that too. Yes, the bulge on the RH wing is the weather radar, it comes in handy quite a lot around here. Thanks so much, I appreciate it:) Mike... Dead people fly with a lot of Airlines.

David Hi David:) Yes, it is a very stressful job, but someone has to do it;) Thank you so much! I plan to enjoy it for many years to come:) Hope you enjoy the next one! 1
DGL Fox Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Tell me Mike, do you get bored flying the same routes day in day out...do you get any variation? David
flyhighwithmike Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Tell me Mike, do you get bored flying the same routes day in day out...do you get any variation?David Hi David, We actually normally get quite a lot a variation. We normally only stay in one base for a month at a time and then move to another part of Indonesia. So far in the 7 months I have been here I have been based in 7 different bases. The flying is always different even though we do the same routes and therefore keeps it pretty fun. However I can imagine once I am permanently based somewhere it may get a little boring. I am looking at going onto the Porter as soon as possible, so that should keep it interesting! Cheers, Mike 1
mAgNeToDrOp Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Hey Mike, enjoying the videos. That Porter would be a sweet gig. I'm assuming there will be a lot of competition amongst the pilots to get onto the Porter?

I'm assuming there will be a lot of competition amongst the pilots to get onto the Porter? Hi, there is a bit of competition, but not as much as you would think. A lot of guys like the multicrew environment and prefer to stay in the cities.. I am not one of those people;) Most guys around are just here to get some hours to head into airlines and the Caravan is better suited to them then. We are having quite a lot of movement in the company as well. I hope and possibly should be looking at getting onto the Porter within a year if all goes to plan. Cheers, Mike

flyhighwithmike Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Good luck I hope you get your chance soon enough. Airlines...yawn.. Thanks so much! Yeah, I am not really excited by the airlines. Hope you enjoy this next one! 3
flyhighwithmike Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Just exploring the island. No flying 1
DGL Fox Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 That's very interesting in the cave Mike...did you find anything in there?...you guys should do some research about any missing planes in your area....go and find yourselves an old Japanese zero or similar that would be very exciting to find... David

I can imagine there must be so many things to find, in the sea and the forest. I will definitely do that. It would be amazing to stumble apon a zero or something of the sort. Off to Raja Ampat for diving for the next week. Maybe will find something there;) Otherwise no uploads for the next week. Unfortunately won't have any signal or wifi. Cheers, Mike 1
flyhighwithmike Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 Not while flying. Hope you enjoy, sorry for the break! 1
