How has this thread gone so quiet?
Well to get the ball rolling again let's relate to a rather intresting and telling incident
Tinga Tinga was on finals at Great big hill and Coffee farm Airport. Tower clears Tinga Tinga to land. The boys come on in and low and behold blasting towards them from the Starboard side (Extra points for any Flying Impala pilot who can guess what side this actually is) was an ATR-72 (White and blue one, replacment for a rather unfortunate landing in Jomo
).
Poor Tinga Tinga has to take evasive action to avoid becoming a rather large though very interesting hood ornament for said flying Impala
When Tinga Tinga recovers his composuer and attitude he questions said flying Impala as to what he was doing turning finals when they were on it and cleared to LAND, to which Impala replies "It's ok we had you on TCAS"
I was on the ground and saw the poor boys from Tinga Tinga, Shame on you for being so quiet about this on this the great wonder of the internet
Didn't recognise the flying Impala Captain but recall his Co-jo. Apparently the next day they did the same thing. Not sure if same crew but same airline
Welcome to the wonderfull world of Aviation where our lovely little airfield has been invaded by the GREAT DALADALA gods of the sky
Anyone read their ops Manual "Non tarmac Runway operations PROHIBITED" Yet they still do and some how got a nice review.
Rember one Captain asking the Tower how much runway was available. The tower replied with the full field length. After landing Said ATR pilot was beside himself with Anger accusing the Tower of lying. Tower had not told them how much was paved and how much was Gravel
Come on boys keep this thread going, maybe one day they will become a proper airline worth of their name.
Still love how they ask for Start when they already got their engines running
