MD-81 in DR Congo
Has anybody seen an ex-Spirit Airlines MD-81 operating out of DR Congo, reported transferred May/early June ?
The aircraft in question is N818NK, already with a history in Africa with Safair-Sunair 1997-2000.

md 81
I was no one to land in Lubumbasi, with someone else no. two, after landing, taxiing off, parking, shut down and starting to offload we heard a loud noise. It was no. two attempting to land, passed the halfway mark and still airborn at a frightning attitude, i grabbed my camera ,but the CAA MD-81 managed to go around to land safetly the second time. The pilot got on radio and blamed us for our eta was not correct, not really know what that has to do with his boo-boo attempt landing.(tipical Congo) Nice aircraft, **** pilots
