Ah yes...the days B4GPS in Nigeria!
Single pilot...weather reports at the IA like "Heavy rain Captain...but we can see the river almost." or "We can see about halfway up the mast." or.....the dreaded "Oh Captain, it is much rain here, very heavy." Dusty season....vis 300 meters or so...trying to find a mud rig somewhere out to the South almost to the coast.
Recall the difference between white rain and black rain?
The Opukushi run in the morning...VFR on Top of the fog....looking for the steam column from the flare and groping for the ground....yes those were the days.
Doing the Forcardos run by jumping the river and picking up the seismic line to the village with the old sawmill....then hugging the south shore to the terminal while looking up at the trees.
Yes..those were the Good Ol' Days.
