JJepps
Mungo,
A great summary of the bush pilot's operating environment and situation.
However, don't kid yourself. We all used Jungle Jepps. Does not matter how reputable your company is or was, up to date charts were simply not available. The job had to be done and that was that.
However, there always came a time to say no, and one had to resect that.
I flew many hours in Zaire/.DRC and fortunately, got away witrh it.
My sincerest condolences to all concerned.
Sir O
