The skills I learnt flying light twins around Southern Africa for ten years WITHOUT a wx radar or GPS have been carried through and still used to this day
I started flying on floats, in Northern Canada. Later flew light twins, around the Game Parks in Kenya for 2 years, based in Mombasa, and Malindi. Few navaids, just tune in the VOK radio station in Nairobi. Landing on small strips in the Masai Mara, one often had to make a very low pass over a runway, to clear the migrating Wildebeest and Topis, then teardrop back to land quickly. Some DC-3 flying too, out of Nairobi Wilson. T-Bag, the Captain who checked me out on the DC-3 had flown the VC-10 with East African Airways...
