We were at 20 000 in a BE20 and a 747 was above us at 33 000, We were off airways due to atc instructions and traffic and re intercepting the airway radial. I was looking at the 747 about 4 NM off our wing when a bright green meteor passed betwene us and burnt out at about 18 000ft, had we been on track, who knows! could be a dog shaped hole in the ground now, or if the 747 was off track, same thing, amazing sight! Are there any more sightings out there? and any incidents of aircraft brought down by this in the past?

Don't know if this is true and if so how many, when to be delivered?

I say, the lads in Seattle will be a bit miffed at this development seeing as up to now all ET jet aircraft have been out of their stables.

Anyone in the know on this one..... ]]> African Aviation High 6 http://www.pprune.org/african-aviation/396458-ethiopian-airlines-buying-a350s.html http://www.pprune.org/african-aviation/396441-lagos-nigeria.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:47:18 GMT Hello all, I'm considering a Hawker 800XP job in Lagos and was wondering what to expect, Pros and Cons, any information would be greatful. ]]> African Aviation lbc870 http://www.pprune.org/african-aviation/396441-lagos-nigeria.html http://www.pprune.org/african-aviation/396389-italian-looking-training-advice-sa.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:12:08 GMT Hello guys, I'm an italian boy and I'd like to start my training courses in South Africa.

I'm currently working in botswana, but am looking to leave. Thinking of possibly Tanzania. I'm basically looking to ask anyone in the know what the possibilites of job are. I've got 1200 hours, pretty much all of which are SEP. I'm looking to leave here early next year. My company here has screwed me over with regards progression which is why I'm looking away from here.

Anyway, thanks for your response
