What an absolute bunch of bungling idiots the CAA are.
Rumour has it that they initially give consent, (not that they needed it), to the 747 to land at Pilansberg with certain requirements to be put in place before they landed.
All said and done at an extremely high cost, everything is put in place, and everyone eagerly awaits the landing.
The captain is told on landing at Polokwane, that should he attempt to land at Pliansberg he will be prosecuted, (which in my books, equates to be put in jail).
Apparently the CAA have a few EX-CO-PILOTS that are experts in their field and are 747 arm-chair captains which apparently told the Commissioner, (who is a NON-pilot), that it definitely cannot be done as they have an aunty, who has a cousin, that goes out with a tractor driver that works at SAA that it could not be done.
So these idiots listen to the tractor driver and, "wait for it", NO...yes, a big NO.
I would love to know who is now going to foot the bill for all the bits and pieces that CAA first asked for.
I also believe it was a private flight.
