Hello together. I'm slightly confused. Does it make sense to show up in Maun with 270 hours, FAA CPL IFR, HP Endorsement, 3 hours ME and Medical 1st class, or will I not meet the minimum qualifications?

Thanks, Pilot in Pink. I wonder if the elephant is still in residence at Ntswi? I would love to fly from Maun to Ntswi in a Cessna 206 and then into Kasane via Vic Falls.

What are the prospects for a retired airline pilot? Grew up in african aviation but have spent the last 30 years flying heavies for a major US airline. Looking to go back to my roots when I retire.

U'd wanna go C208 - not back to sticky pistons. Big question, without being politically correct is - are you up for wuick turn arounds and the whole "make things work" scenario. I understand your dream - but you'd need to understand the whole "package" the African bush pilot dream comes with as well. Good luck.

Yeager, he/she said that their roots were in African aviation. I also fly heavies around the world for a US carrier these days and my “roots” are in African aviation. It would take some training and a few hours of practice to become reacquainted with piston equipment again.
