How many twins we got left in the country? The Seneca's are either gone or have been belly landed. Of the three I know that are still in country, one spends more time in the hangar than in the air. The other is either grounded or about to be sold. And I think Auric has one. There are two 404's left, both privatly owned. Three 406's though I don't know if all of Tanzanairs one's are flying. One 402 privatly owned and operated. The Aztec is grounded. Sky sold all their twins. Regional only has one twotter left. Most Navajos/Chieftans either grounded for lack of crew, spares, money or crashed and burned. What's happening with Tropicals? Ah and off course the last remaining Partenavia, was junk ten years ago so can't be much better now. I was told seven years ago they stopped making spares for the B models.
Vans are in vogue here, when I came there were only three in Dar, now there are over 20. Good place to build your Turbine command, do some great bush flying and get paid a descent wage.
The other option is Tanzania's two local airlines, twin multi crew but you spend months waiting to get online and make peanuts in comparison to general aviation
But at least the beer is cheap here
And the night fighters are not too costly either from what I hear
Though some newbies really got screwed over by them, and not in a way that led to a happy ending
