Hi all I am one of the Solenta pilots that was in Abidjan at the time,we were all evacuated from Abj safely to Accra after a very traumatic experience,we are all returning to South Africa on Saturday Morning,once in SA I will write my story and tell all,I want to make a personal mention and to thank the 12 people I was stuck on a roof with for all the help and support aswell as the engineers who were stuck at the airport for all their assistance.Thankyou guys for saving my life.
How are the CHC Africa/UN S-61 boys doing? Out yet?

I understand that while some of the crews panicked and runned away some are still operating as normal.
Africa can be very traumatic if you are not used for it.

Kopeloi, I would like to see how you continue to operate normally when your home no longer has any doors, windows or even a toilet for you to crap in. Most people would consider running to be a good idea when you are being shot at and don't have anything to shoot back with.
I see that you are current on a CL604, funny that now, I don't quite remember seeing any on the ramp in Abidjan on Monday, or maybe I was just running to damn fast!!!

CHC / UN S61 Boy's
Got this email from one of them last week...
Hi mate
Getting shot at at the moment in the Ivory Coast as you do.
Catch you again when the shooting stops or the frog puma takes us off the roof top.
XXXX
Ps I gotta get a new lne of work..
So there their as far as I know, knowing how CHC are I doubt they would leave behind the 61's until they are stripped of all usable parts and then claim the insurance!
