i admit to admiring that photo....and have done the same thing with two of mine....the Nigerian and the one from Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). At least Upper Volta was a "fun" place with some very interesting flying...but it was pretty much the at the end of the road, railroad, and flight route. All that was manageable but it was the loving care of Evergreen that caused it to be a nightmare.
So....if one found one's self in Nigeria employed by Evergreen...and assigned to Escravos.....would any career change guarantee a move up?
