Yep Flyboy2 ,
As you know Gabon is an ex- FRENCH colony so it is qiute normal that everybody speaks french!
When I was flying in Eastern Europe I did not expect eveybody to speak my lingo or English , but I was always able to comunicate.
So Romeo Tango don't worry if you do not speak french there is lot of guys who speak your language and 4144R is fluent in English.
Good trip ,
GUSTO
