C130 & B1900D

Yep, I was in Abeche a month ago and the C130 has a family or two living in what's left of the remains. I tried to go over and take some pictures but they wanrned me I may get killed so I passed and took a long range pic. lol

The B1900D crashed shortly after I left but was going to return to train their pilots in it, guess that is why they haven't sent me my airline ticket yet. lol

The A/F people there are real nice and friendly and Gen. Mandjita is a good man, he runs that side of the airport joined with the French Mil people.

Abeche had no power or water for days/weeks when I was there this summer, real tough place to be/ work/ live. Not really looking to return there unless the whole show is changed but that is not going to happen.
