Danger "the gift of life" by capt mawamba

guys i used to fly with captain MAWAMBA as a copilot 15 years ago, the guy didnt have a depth vision and we used to hit branches on finals, as a newcomer to africa with 200TT - i tought it was fun and part of "bush flying", he tried to behave as a "mundele" pilot and sent S##T to all copi's, eventually he got lost one day and tried "to fly heading" on the ILS to KIN ending 50ft over the ain road to the airport' we got some "discussion" after this aproach - and became "friends" (i dont tell the boss and he let me land once a month) then he told me (laughing) how he had to do his instrument rating in the US 4 times (on a 172) cause he didnt know F#@K ALL. i guess theres no need for a black box as long as it drives the plane
