Also, Rwanda repaved 2 air strips and installed a ASOS or AWOS wx station at one near the Congolese border. After several years of disuse, the field was inspected and reported to be serviceable by someone who didn’t know what a flap or rudder is. The new asphalt crumbled apart when rubbed with a size 45 boot. The wx reporting station was nowhere to be seen, although there was a security guard, sitting next to a concrete pad where said wx station was installed. You can’t make this stuff up....
