Thumbs down

Hi say again s l o w l y.

Lived and flown in 5 countries down there including some of the most insane. Bush, cargo, charter, aid, evacuations. The misery in Africa will go away when the outside world stops condescendingly sending "aid". (this usually is utterly incomprehensible and reeks of "racism" to those who have never been there themselves).
Most people I know who went in there came out with no conscience at all once they got to know the real Africa.
Also, a couple thousand Africa-hours in your book can be a real minus in Europe, believe me!

Suggest you pole around Europe and hug a tree once in a while, no offence.

Keep it safe...
