The Nabire Porter Go(es)Pro

[N1inSK]

One thumb up for the scenery, another thumb up for the Porter and a third thmb up for the GoPro and what it does to the propeller. :)

The music, though, doesn't work for me. It's not bad; it just doesn't match the video. Besides, I'd rather hear the aircraft.

[andreww4rd]

shit music



[porterstans]

@andreww4rd

good one mate!

[NeverGiveUp8080]

Hats off to you for flying n these sort of conditions mate~! Biggest respect!

[porterstans]

@NeverGiveUp8080

Thank you so much; but most of the credit should go to the Porter for being such an amazing aircraft. Cheers mate

[NeverGiveUp8080]

@porterstans No sweat~! :) I'm a big fan of Turbo Props... ;)

[sejunzese]

[porterstans]

@PriyanDyka

Termima Kasih; Papua is definitely worth a visit!

[PriyanDyka]

@porterstans I want to go there... especially Raja Ampat...:)

[novemberlimajuliet]

What a fantastic video! Really good angles on the camera and a great mix of different views throughout!

[mokeymcleod]

Sven, you have come a long way since knife edge circuits at Winnipeg Aviation. I hope Ulrich sees these videos! Keep driving 'em Sven!

[porterstans]

@mokeymcleod

Hey Jay, thanks buddy; guess I was always destined for this kind of flying. Absolutely love it over here and if I could, I'd marry the Porter! Looks like you also found your calling; way to go Jay, congratulations.

[Mahalo1973]

ultra technique !!!

[porterstans]

@Mahalo1973

Hey mate, thanks, but again, it's relatively easy when flying the world's best bush aircraft. Cheers

[sabeillard]

Mate, the best aircraft images I've ever seen at Tube! Nice landings! Samuel, Porto, Portugal

[porterstans]

@sabeillard

Thanks Samuel, really appreciate that!

[simmerhead]

Stunning flying and stunning scenery! Love the music as well - Norwegian metal rules!

[porterstans]

@simmerhead

Hey buddy, yeah, you're absolutely right...(I'm just back from 70000 Tons of Metal...plenty bands from Scandinavia...!!!)

Amazing... "Real" Bush Pilot around Papua......

[porterstans]

@stefendy

Thanks buddy; Bush Flying is what we love doing! Cheers

[dabb]

Looks like lots of fun. Nice camera angles.

[ProudSonOfThe1896th]

Thank You !!!!

Those of us who understand the wonderfully intense concentration,

 yet at the same time peaceful calm that comes with air ballet at 8ths+

salute you in your ability and share in your joy at placing yourself in this place of modern space and yet primative time, where your talents are so vital.

Researching my father's history of airfield contruction during WWII in the Markham Valley and Biak. I find Your postings are OUTSTANDING !

Rock on Sky God ! CAVU is Boring !

[porterstans]

@ProudSonOfThe1896th

Wow, don't really know what to say. Actually just read this one right now and am completely speechless. The reason I haven't seen this post before is in Nabire, we only have sketchy internet, but right now, I actually am in Biak (for maintenance) and this base has Papua's best internet.

Thank you so much; but again, most of the credit should go to the Porter for being the absolute best bush aircraft there is. Thanks so much!

[ProudSonOfThe1896th]

Thank You !!!!

[neblackshirts1]

I’m very familiar with all of your videos and this is the best one yet. Nothing like watching a good stick and rudder pilot at work, so more over the shoulder shots please. Also noticed a couple of differently equipped Porter’s you are flying, so I guess you don’t have “the rights” just one of them or maybe you don’t care. Can you say what camera you are using as you have set a new standard for aerial photography? In any event well done! I live vicariously through you.

[porterstans]

@neblackshirts1

Same here; WOW! I really don't deserve all this; it's the Porter that makes all this relatively easy. We use all the Papua Porters, depending on which one is in Maintenance at the moment. Sadly, we're loosing the 'legacy' Porters to Kalimantan for Survey flying...I for one love the 'steam' instruments. The camera is a simple 'GoPro'; works great. Thanks again!!

[vtwin1]

Incredible video mate, looks like you're having a hell of a time! Just wondering, what kind of experience do employers seek over there for potential pilots? Cheers

[porterstans]

@vtwin1

Hey, yeah, it doesn't get any better than this.

Susi Air is hiring 'low time' Pilots for the Caravans (Co-Pilot, until at least 1000 hours then possible upgrade). For the Porter, we're obviously looking for substantial tail wheel time and for Papua Pilots, extensive mountain experience. But, now, with the Survey flights in Kalimantan, these requirements are reduced. If interested: recruiting@susiair.com

Cheers

[alltubez]

Wonderful video again, thank you!

I would like to see a few complete approaches, landings and rollouts with the camera setting like from 4:57, turbine sound included, so I could see you fly and have a better idea how it feels. Greetings from Switzerland

[porterstans]

@alltubez

Hey, where in Switzerland? I'm from Naters, Wallis....Anyways, I got some other videos posted, where I used a conventional camera mounted on the compass bracket; there you see the entire approach....Vielen Dank, Mercie, Gruezi und and schoene Tag!!!

[alltubez]

@porterstans I am from near Wegenstetten, close to Schupfart airfield, used to fly Huskys and Cubs from there. Will write you via FB

[zkgeorge]

The Nabire Porter always was Pro! Love the low angle from the left strut.

[porterstans]

@zkgeorge

Thanks mate!!

[73alloch]

Awesome vid Sven......keep'm comming :-)

[porterstans]

@73alloch

Cheers buddy

[DirtFlyer]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!  Flying like this for a career was a dream of mine once, and your videos give an incredible view into what that life is like. Cheers and happy flying!

[porterstans]

@DirtFlyer

Thank you so much; I really appreciate that. Flying the Porter has always been THE dream of mine and to be able to do this here in Papua...well, it just doesn't get any better. Cheers and happy lanidngs, wherever you fly..

[botondo]

at 6:57, was that a go around?

[porterstans]

Hi, no go around, just the way the clip was cut....the strip's called Timepa

[Tommydensus]

Have you ever fly to Ilaga?

[porterstans]

@Tommydensus

We do fly to Illaga; but since we have a Porter base in Timika, it's that Porter that serves Illaga mostly.

Cheers

[MattMooseD]

Awesome video! I need to get me into that aircraft asap! Expect something in your inbox ;o)

[porterstans]

Yeah; and a pig!

[Tommydensus]

almost hit a car
