Bukavu

Bukavu in the nastiest places in the DRC to operate to and from. Nasty mountains rings the western side, the side this flight approached from. (The last of the high mountains of the rift valley) Scared the hell out of me on a couple of occasions and if you not careful the can bite. In bad weather a CFIT in that area is a good possibility. There is no approach into Bukavu and no beacons.

RIP and condolences to all family members and friends

Lets keep this treat factual please and not speculate on whats right or wrong.
