This is the weather from 07:00 the day the crashed occured. FZAA ( Kinshasha ) is about 20nm south-east of FZBB.

The system with TS was moving from FZEA ( Mbandaka ) to the south-west and we got hit by TS's in FCBB at around 13:00 so thats the time they crashed. That day we were supposed to fly from FCBB to Kinshasha and then the way up north to Bangui ( FEFF ) with the fuel stop in FZEA. FZEA is the only place we can get fuel on the way to Bangui and there was no way getting there through the stormy weather so we canceled the flight.
