Hi all,
9Q CLK was taking off from lanseria 3 days ago, heading NW.
I was on the field this day.
Every body at Lanseria were looking for this big bird!
Soft landings

Please drop me an e-mail on [email protected] in order to set up a meeting to discuss the possibilities of getting some revenge. It goes without saying that all and everybody's identity that assists me, in what ever way, will be kept confidential and the identity of such a person, I guarantee, will never be known to anybody except me. Thanks again for the support.
They may crook some of the people some of the time but they can't crook all the people all the time.

Fri***in hell . What an interesting topic.

Jamie,

I have a funny feeling that I know who you are talking about with regards the Antonov.

What really concerns me is that we are under a microscope at the moment and the powers that be still have the audacity to pull sh*t like this. Someone somewhere must have been paid a great deal of money to allow CLK to leave the country. Ohhhhh the apathy and sheer ignorance is enough to make one

It is high time that someone pulls together an independant investigation into foggy bottom (no names but obvious who Im talking about ) before it all goes t*ts up and our once great aviation industry is but a distant memory.

Hi Guys - so, reading between the lines here on "aspects corrupt", seems a number of people have a lot of info that could be of use to the authoroties. Now, before one goes off half cocked about our so called "justice departments" here in SAfrica - how about this for an idea.

You may be aware that 702 radio launched a "crime line" whereby such criminal things can be reported anonymously. The good thing is that you have 702 monitoring all of this and if no results are forthcoming, we get to hear about it in the news - and the "heat" is applied. So, what have we got to loose ? SMS' can be sent to 32211 or via internet at www.crimeline.co.za Now, back to 9Q-CLK. I pointed all the Jetphotos Forum trawlers to this thread with a request to keep an eye out for 9Q-CLK - who know's, perhaps we can find the beast oneday and justice may be served. "doing nothing" achieves exactly that - "nothing".

Hi again readers, sorry for no recent update because I was kept busy with the preparation of some documents in order to tighten the noose around the neck of the non payer. The story around 9Q-CLK will still be with us for a while. The fact that the DRC 'bought' their own aircraft at the cost of 'the rule of law,' leaves the man in the street with a sour taste in the mouth. This whole issue makes one rethink the so-called African Renaissance and what ever it holds for the law abiding citizen, especially if this is the type of behavior to expect in this new world of ours. The point is that one may have the best intentions and plans but if your support system ie. community structures and rule of law does not apply equal to all, you are fighting a losing battle.
So ladies and gentleman as RobinB rightfully points out, "if it is to be it is up to me (us)", the choice is ours whether we are going to become a statistic or do something about it. I for one is not going to take this lying down, lets take control of at least our own situations and then assist our friends in trying to improve the current situation. Thank you all ones more for all the emails and support.

This is a very interesting thread... although I guess it has to be said...

Fact is that while there does seem to be clear commitment to doing something about an injustice, there is no will or support from the government we have in power. That being from the top down.

The South African government has shown that it has no willingness to protect the sovereignty of the country, its people, its laws and plain and simply what's right.

Frans, I feel for you, this whole mess must have created more than its fair share of nightmares. But quite frankly, we have a bunch of self serving fools in positions of power, and they are the majority. This is not a black white thing, because I am certain any legitimate black businessman would also be concerned, but the achilles heel of South Africa, is that we are inextricably linked to Africa. By both culture, thinking, physical boundaries, morals and ethics.

I fear that this may be a losing battle... and this is accepting that the corruption has beaten me long time ago... and yes, I have given up...

No Africa renaissance - no hope!

So what's the latest? Presumably the aeroplane is restricted to long range missions within the confines of the DRC?

Wow, this time round those JTD's have been removed - unlike the time I photographed her at FALA a few years ago, where the priority was to "bling up" the interior and ignore the "smokin' donkeys"........
