I should nto complain since i like flying documentaries a lot more than Uzbekstans Teen Mums have Talent. But a few things made me smile in tuesdyas hsow-anyone catch the 'only these planes (Cessnas) can fly here with their special big lo pressure wheels and a small wheel at the front for steering'

Also is Botswana really 'bush' ? Maun seems a organised neat airfield = orderly parked planes-huge modern hangar , clean , neat and tidy inside with all kinds of documentation and process evident -not evident rotting hulks of DC3s , Smoky old Antonovs and inumerable feral dogs and semi naked children which seem to characterise a lot of African strips elsewhere.

Its an interesting program though when looking at peoples motivation for the job- is two eyars there a good basis for the right hand seat of a Qaatr airways airbus-perhaps yes from what we have read about AF 447 (?) but itseems avery hit and miss proces for developing the airline captains of tomorow
