Welcome to Africa

Helicopters are like a magnet to the locals. Any visit to the countryside is bound to attract an indisciplined crowd and you the pilot had better be prepared. In Cameroon/Tchad I would ask the copilot to disembark on touchdown and try to police the situation as best as possible. If its not the kids its the brown-out - both will test your patience and skill.
