The President decides he is going flying, so the nation's capital's international airport is closed, without notice, until he takes off, or changes his mind.
Yes....but not limited to Africa... same thing happens when the Pres of the Good O'l USofA flies in or out... Clinton kept LAX closed for over an hour by having his hair cut aboard AirForce 1 before departing... And the
super-cretin Bush had Heathrow closed only a week or so ago...
But... getting back to Africa (hopefully never again)... another comes to mind... Having to undergo a CAA check on our ops in Kinshasa ( can you imagine ?
) ... the two guys are checking out my FAA ATPL and decide it's not valid as it doesn't show my photograph and want to fine me $500... I point out that FAA ATPLs don't show a photograph... they go into their book and show me a photocopy of the new FAA license which depicts....
a photo of Orville and Wilber Wright ...
Now... where do I begin ?
