Yeah there are a lot of Americans who are afraid of leaving the country cause they think they'll get AIDs or whatever they hear on Fox news. Its very annoying getting ignorant comments when mentioning any travel or work abroad, i would imagine fewer American pilots in that area because some are just afraid of it. so far this post hasn't been flying related, so.. whats more sketchy, flying through freezing fog, and icing conditions (currently what im seeing here in Oregon) or the effects of flying in 40C from high altitude, in a heavy loaded plane? (what i assume are the conditions in Namibia and Botswana)
