Back to the future...

My goodness! I seem to remember the early 80s, when the air taxi business was booming. Nigeria Airways was on its way down and the roads were a total mess, so that we had guys with attache cases full of naira, still worth something then, lined up trying to book flights. That sort of fell off with the rise of all those local airlines, particularly Aero who moved from small aircraft to Dash 8s and then 737s, but now the air taxi market may return. Hmm... no Avgas, so no little bug-smashers, but how about Caravans, or the Cessna 406 or even the Cessna 441?

This could become interesting....
