The Emperor has no clothes!

You aren't supposed to talk about the lack of approaches at Osubi! Ever since it was opened everyone looked in another direction, namely the terminal lobby, ever so well-equipped with pot plants and furniture. That they got right away, thanks to the Scottish Dwarf.

I once watched a Nigerian Government Gulfstream IV pop out of the Osubi clag somewhat sideways and pointed earthwards, with Number One aboard. I was thinking to myself, "Hmm. What sort of a sh*t-storm will ensue if those NAF pilots do a lusty clanger and then it comes to light that this place, having cost $30 million, is Day VFR only?"

It was just another one of those idle thoughts that kept getting me in trouble. After that I took another drink of the Kool-Aid and was soon back to normal.
