Wondering if the 400KM is not mean't to read 40KM. Four hundred is a long ways away. Go west and you end up south of Lake Victoria, go east and your in the ocean. It takes a van about 1:45 minutes to fly that far. Kilimanjaro is right next to Moshi with ILS. Sounds a little fishy, will be intresting to find out the details on this one. Whilst the country is liberally sprinkeled with Granite mountains it is also liberaly sprinkeled with airfields, plenty of places to put down and wait for better weather. Anyone know where they were coming from? or what time of day this all happened?

But they got it down so good job to them.
