Ok, like I said I would, I checked with my buddy and yes it is Angola where you can fly for Zimex on a Canadian license. Contract is 2 months in and 1 month out. You fly with local coey's who can't fly staight and level, veering off of that magic majenta line on the GPS is not an option and landing a STOL a/c on 6000+ feet of pavement is unachievable, but hell, it's suppose to be an adventure, right??? Well that's exactly what is sounds like it is. As for the work visa and paperwork, that seems to take forever but it does come eventually and there is rumor that all pilots might have to have a JAA license, but again, that might just be for the a/c's that are registered HB. OH YA, don't wear a nice watch or nice sunglasses because those will quickly disappear even if it means taking your hand with the watch. There must be some positive stuff about flying down there??? However no one has told me any of those stories!! Anyhow, hope it helps.
