Ahh Mo, good times buddy good times. I bloody miss it so much. Mind you life at FL450 aint bad either. Nah it still doesnt beat 230 knots down the Grumeti River at a 6ft 
Take care buddy.

6' is a but high for your standards helldog. Were you avoiding a hippo standing on shallow ground.Good hear your its going well for you in those biz jets.
Pepsi 230hrs is a bit low for arusha unless you get an F/O slot with regional or safari express. You might be able to find work in Dar or Mwanza. There are definately jobs in Tanzania. good luck

One day when you're flying big jets around you'll weep when you reflect back to these times. Enjoy them while you can.
are really missing out on a great time.
406 how are things mate. You know you can always walk back into GA but look what happened to Bob last week when he stepped out of his Fokker into that little f*çker of a Seneca.

Hey Mo when are you making the next video?
A smooth Approach to touch down hopefully on a prepared strip using fullflap with a high possibility of an overshoot.
Undershooting will put you in the sh!t.

Hi guys
Nice and funny video. It seems that you have fun down there in Africa.
Do you have any job for a guy with 500 h SE and 103 ME hours. You may please send me email and inform me about any companies that are hiring pilots down there.
With regards,
storlax
