You know youre in Africa when :
- All the expats working for the UN drive around in 4x4's or armoured tanks wearing flak jackets and helmets and all have some kind of weapons, while the aircrew have a wanked out hyundai van, no armour and have to drive into town daily for supplies!
- you buy whisky in 2 litre bottles so it will last longer than an evening
- you look forward to eating goat and/or camel meat
- you program the GPS with self made waypoints while in VMC so you can get in when its IMC. All the waypoint names have to be swear words
- you can have a party with a bunch of russians for 8 hours and not understand one word they say
- you can tell the sound of an Mi - 8 about 20 nm away
- it is not considered weird when there is a stack of hardcore pornography in the crew house toilet
- a ladder is leaning against an old 727-100 on a short dirt strip for the pax and crew to board and disembark
-you have to pay more for a coke if it is cold, than if it is warm
- when you sign on at 5am the engineer is passed out cold on the kitchen floor, Led zeppelin still on high volume
- flying low level down rivers trying to get the people in the canoes to jump out is part of the descent briefing
Fun times!
