flyboy6876,
I understand that you live in that other part of the world, but things are really really different here in Africa, whether it is East or west. Things like that happen and they're not the worst. We get way more surprises, not always nice one at times. But, in the end, the pilots make lots of hours, the owners make more money, pay less taxes.

It is possible that this happened because things have changed recently in Kenya, new Aviation Authority, new governement, etc... and it takes time for those guys to settle down.

Same stroy for us at the time I am writing. My boss is there with our 406 and foud out on his way to Nairobi that our clearance was wrong, invalid. Off course he sorted out everything when he landed, but if you don't follow up on everything and triple check all the times, you could end up with bad surprises.

This is Africa my friend!
