Try getting hold of a guy by the name of Fred Summer/s/lin/?? "FRED" in Kinshasa.Tel Mobi..+243-88048103 (this no.s quite old) Hes an Instructor /charter /Freelance Pilot of note out there and a very nice guy. Hes got accsess to a little piston single and a Senaca II .He also knows a lot of people.
"Beer" in mind its difficult to get anything done but Joseph Kabila is a Fine young man who is very approach
-able. The Un have of course lots of a/c there. Why dont you just inter-agency sub charter a Cessna Caravan from UNHCR. I presume you're UNDP?? Or is UNletsgofishing.com ? I dont think theres much on the Brazza side but that was a while ago.
Also is this for up stream or down stream?
Down stream of course has Hydro elec plants that are better protected with anti aircraft stuff than ..well you get the idea...
good luck. Wouldnt mind doing a low level recce up and down that amazing river for a couple of days in a C208 on floats now....we can dream!!
