Hey shenzi, come on now. You know that the DCA in Kenya could have pulled the stunt to try and draw attention to themselves as : Hey look we are trying!" We are safe, all that ****.
The media is mostly to blame I am sure. A good example for you was the crash on Meru that took my buddy in the 404 with 10 Yanks. With in an hour of finding the plane and all the watu dead, Reuters somehow was calling my cell from Nairobbery wanting info! Meanwhile, the story the press was leaking was that an AMREF plane was missing in Tz. Where the F$@#$^k did that come from. I told the bastard that if he wanted to do the right thing as a journalist, let people know that it wasn't an AMREF dege and that the rest was none of his buisness. Then I went to the Discovery accross from the old office and proceeded to cry my brains out with he rest of the rubani.
So, get off this thread, stop worrying about how messed up the press and the DCA's in E Africa are and lets go fishing!

Hey Shenzi 1st,
I agree with you, and my main point was actually the fact that the press pulled it off and couldn't come back on their stories and started to shoot on the ambulance. I remember the hyenas from Reuters waiting at HTAR at dawn when we were leaving to do the job on Meru, to get a word from us and the thing almost got a bit violent.
But sometimes, late at night when I read the threads, it bugs me when write what was said on this one, regarding Africa. It's home, man.
I've got the boat, around 250 a day with all the shinny little cans in the cool-box.
i read your quotes on the MAF thread, good job.
