Hey soapbox
It's very simple fly within the limits of your knowledge and skill, don't be a cowboy, your not going to impress anyone
Sounds like something I told you 4400hrs ago
Don't be scared to take the plunge.. You won't get a job sitting back in Oz. You have to be out there and Be prepared to hang around in dodgy hostels for a couple of months while CAA rape you for every penny you have so you can pass your conversion exams. You'll probably get paid
all and working your nuts off initially living on foodscraps.
Apart from the flying, the dangers include mini busses, walking in the street, malaria, all sort of stomach diseases, AIDS (Double up), drinking yourself silly and crazy dares when your pissed.. Oh did i Mention the animals, volcano's, political coup's, people crossing the runways while your trying to land, the controllers, the wx.... The list goes on.
What danger...
7 yrs of flying in Africa, I've got no regrets.
