Hey 4G, so you worked it out. ILS into Manchester, or the kamakazi 1 alpha into Shabunda. Please choose. I do miss the bush. Expect email soon.

About the comment earlier, was a long day in office and typed what I thought. Apart from the burocracy(sp) the people in those parts are more than relieved to see an Air-Serv plane come in to land. At least no troops hopping out to 'protect' them.

Air Serv (and I'm sure that at some stage one of them will enter this thread) came into being because the various humanitarian agencies felt the need to distance themselves from the other aircraft operators who flew guns in the morning and aid in the afternoon. Hence a pure humanitarian company.
I don't know what the profit margins are etc for humanitarian outfits, but I'm sure its no where near as lucrative as getting a UN contract.
It's a tough job, but someones got to do it.
