Flight Ethiopian Airlines Bombardier Q400 Next Generation inflight Addis-Mekelle

[smog1100]

Great video again:)

So would you recommend Ethopian for long-haul flights as well?

[homer3152]

@smog1100 Never tried them.

[IndraEMC]

Wow, Q400 really looks like ATR-72

[Awash777]

You mean flag of TPLF.

[TheFLIGHTFREAK100]

First, I thought Mekelle got a grass runway :D

[AndreaZzzXXX]

I flew from Venice to Belgrade (via Vienna) with a bombardier like the one on your video (Austrian Airlines): quite noise, but it isn't too bad for a short trip

nice video as usual :-)

[homer3152]

@AndreaZzzXXX Always a special pleasure to hear again from you:)

[teenspiritvideo]

Does anyone know the name of the song in this video ?

[teenspiritvideo]

What song is this ?

[homer3152]

@teenspiritvideo An Ethiopian singer..forgot the name

[teenspiritvideo]

@homer3152 thanks for answering.

[Awash777]

@homer3152 Nati Haile's new CD

[Awash777]

@homer3152 His name is Nati Haile, yes he is a fine Ethiopian singer.

[upiluften]

Hi Homer,

cheers,

EmiratesEK425

[homer3152]

@EmiratesEK425 Thanks:) What exactly would you like to see in a longer video? What did you miss here? Just wondering..

[Awash777]

Homer, nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[19bootsy68]

Homer...how long was this flight...and are domestic flights in Ethiopia expensive?

[homer3152]

@19bootsy68 It was about 1 hour, my friend..and it was relatively cheap, though I dont remember the cost..it was paid for me:)

[19bootsy68]

@homer3152 Africa is such a great place...i remember when i was in The Gambia and Senegal my light coloured clothes would have a red tint in places from the red dust...everybody wanting to befriend me cos i was white and thought i had money...one day i shall return to Africa and see her beauty again....what was the security like at the airports Homer....and what about the lounge?

[homer3152]

@19bootsy68 Hi my friend: I agree. Africa is a wonderful place..I am just back from Tanzania, including a day in the Serengeti:) Security in Ethiopia is great, no problem..nothing compared to places like..I better stop here, lol. Even the Ethiopian lounge was nice by African standards. Limited food though, and no self service bar..but a friendly service delivering you a glass of South African red. Overall, Ethiopia is a soecial place, with a great cultural heritage..and special problems, too.

[19bootsy68]

@homer3152 Wow Tanzania..that was British until the very early 60's im sure..did you see Kilimanjaro?

what about the gold there did you buy any gold..the Serengeti is a once in a life time experience..you are very lucky Homer..i bet you are glad you stuck in at school ;) us poor and uneducted people can only but dream of..visting places like you Homer and sfflyer our American eater/drinker/flyer friend..did you fly with LH again and are you uploading it soon..Oh what was the mosquitos like bad?

[hoho657chan]

Homer, another excellent video, quite different from your usual haunts. Was it work related reason for your visit to this far flung corner of Africa?? The plane looks quite comfortable and yes, we could tell by watching your video that this is a new aircraft. Anyway thank you again. Check out SFflyer's homage to you... ha ha ha!

Your biggest fan from Hong Kong.

[homer3152]

@hoho657chan Yes, it was work related..and thank you very much for reminding me of our friend sfflyer..will check it tonight. Best greetings to Hong Kong!

[Dubaiification]

Homer! What are you doing in Africa?! Thanks for the upload. Tchüss!

[homer3152]

@Dubaiification Isnt going to places without luxury sometimes the true luxury, lol? Very best regards!

[homer3152]

@wagnercite My pleasure..always:)

[frosa33]

GreatJob !!

[homer3152]

@frosa33 Thank you!

[FlightSimmer948]

I love the Q400, the takeoff is so quick!

[domiffa]

ahhhh ;-) zur Abwechslung mal weiter hinten gesessen, statt immer auf seat 2 B ;-) Was macht man denn so in Mekelle, wenn man sonst üblicherweise zwischen den Hauptstädten der Welt hin und her pendelt?

[homer3152]

@domiffa Man mus halt flexibel sein:)

[levanter1M]

was not expecting such a modern airport - it looks virtually new.

[gaborba23]

Nice video.This is not A380

[homer3152]

@gaborba23 True:)

[spekiion]

Nice as usual but where is the info on the menu or was there a menu? I'm guessing it has to be better than US domestic flight menu!

[homer3152]

@spekiion Menue? lol

[vodca78]

Good to have you back. Can't wait for more of your great videos. don't forget to inform me if you are planning to come to singapore.

[homer3152]

@vodca78 deal!

[MrAlpmark]

This is so nice :)) Thank you so much for uploading this! I'm from Frankfurt but my parents are Ethiopian's from adigart (near mekele) and i will be flying to ethiopia next year for the first time of my life so i am very excited :D

[homer3152]

@MrAlpmark Hope you reckognized the Ethiopian singer:)

[drowzy721]

Quite a nice change to the usual first class luxury!

[homer3152]

@drowzy721 Homer = a man for all seasons, lol

[TalksWithDirt]

Beautiful airplane I like a nice turboprop. You really feel the weather. And the Odyssey by Homer goes on.

[homer3152]

@TalksWithDirt Yess..it is a long way home to Mykene:)

[brasildude1]

another great video!

[homer3152]

@brasildude1 Thank you!

[alkpone1949]

Another good one, Homer!! Good to have you back!!

[homer3152]

@alkpone1949 Thank you very much!

[IceDefence]

The service is quite similar to here in Iceland where can choose from coffee, water or juice, and small chocolate shell with each drink (mostly the coffee though

[cenasaysyoucantseeme]

yay first great video as always :D

[homer3152]

@cenasaysyoucantseeme :)

[EK433B77W]

Great video mate! Just superb footage...

All DHC-8s delivered from Bombardier after '97 are prefixed with the "Q" for quite. Meaning that aircraft is fitted with noise suppression to avoid excessive exterior and interior noise. A truly unique aircraft in my opinion.

Keep up the great work mate!.!.! and PLEASE upload more! :)

[homer3152]

@EK433B77W Thank you for the info:)

[TheJaydowgg]

that sound really quite!! wow

[TheJaydowgg]

that sound really quite!!

[thaiviet12]

it is quiet

[m3andchip5]

Oooooh! Homer on a turboprop! Something new!

Yes, when I went on a turboprop for the first time this year, I didn't realise how quiet it actually is! I would have thought it was louder!

Anyways, great vid as always!

[homer3152]

@m3andchip5 Yes..a man for all seasons, lol

[radbcc]

Quiet indeed.  But, not the level of service and food we are expecting from Homer ;-)

[darkeos]

ohhhhhh i whant to see the bumping inside clouds :-) very good video :-)

[homer3152]

@darkeos :)
