re: What's New In W. Africa (Nigeria)
Helipolarbear, I think that's referring to the AS350 they have on lease from Heliportugal which is painted in the same color yellow as MTN, if you remember that. I think they have a Philipino pilot flying it and I believe their new operations manager, an American guy, Steve, flew it down from Lisbon a few months back, though you don't see or hear a lot of him.
Their helipad is in Five Cowrie Creek opposite the Nigerian Law School, but I don't think they have any kind of shuttle service there as yet. I can see the Law School and the residents in the expensive houses in Ikoyi and VI being very happy if they start flying in their regularly. I haven't heard Phone Wind's rumor about Bell 412s, but the Caverton guys are always full of what's coming next, so who knows?
