People fly for lots of reasons...

As to location,

"Nanyuki — A conservationist who was piloting an aircraft was killed alongside a Canadian journalist when the plane crashed in Mount Kenya forest on Monday.

The aircraft owned by Laikipia Wildlife Forum crashed in the forest due to bad weather, according to Yellow Club East Africa chairman Rob Linck who witnessed the crash.

"There were strong winds and the aircraft was small and therefore it could not manoeuvre its way through the turbulence," said Linck."

Linck is a serious fixed/rotary wing pilot, and if he saw it, this is simply how it happened. Probably in a telephone interview Aero Club was transformed into Yellow Club, though I'm not sure he's the chair.
