SWAKOP for beginners !!!

SWAKOP = STELLENBOSCH

For a fresh CPL graduate,with Little or No experience,a dream come true, -must be to start of his/her flying career in Swakopmund,NAMIBIA !!!
The Rolls-Royce of the aviation business for beginners, equel to a student attending Matieland in Stellenbosch.

Cessna 210's ,the workhorse of the Namib dominate and roam the sky,with at least 5 charter companies to chose from in town.
I had the privilege myself, to fly in huge formations,explore the coast at 'low level', land with a 90 degree X-wind, gusting at 30Knots, get lost in the desert, build up some valuable command (PIC) time - MPL-licence holders can only dream of and the most important, made friends for life !!!!
Not even to speak about the social life in Swakop..............

Hard to believe whether Eros and/or Maun can live up to this.....?!!

Cheers,
