Thanks for the info.
hueyracer I am aware of how big Africa is. What I don't know is how many places CHC operates there. I have done 6 week tours before in third world countries so I sort of know what I am getting in too. The wife read on a forum about pilots getting kidnapped there, so I am hoping to calm her down a bit. Or possibly say no to going to "that base" I will be flying the 139 if that helps narrow things a bit.
