Talking Just One Question

This might sound abit stupid, but for a man that has been deprived of this powerfull organism for an extended period of time I have just one question to ask. This question has beeen bugging me for quite some time and the question is... 'Is there much white puss living or travelling in or out of Botswana/ Tanzania'....Im aching to know.

Cheers

Info needed for cost analysis:

How much do you currently pay in Pula, for a can of Castle or Black Label, at a drinking establishment in Maun?

Thanks in advance...

Hello All!

Answers:

Yak: The amount of hours flown depends on the company you work for, any where between 650 and 900 hours, but the average would be around 750. Other jobs, not really. Local labour is employed to do the rest, we only need pilots.

mark CRUISE: Dont hold your breath!!! Very few and far between.

masseygrad: If you read the original post, you will see I covered that topic, but once again around P5.50.

Hope that helps,

Cheers for now,

KF

Ah...I see, that's what you meant!

Mr Cruise, I thought you were rambling on about white oozing fluids, perhaps African Pilot talk for some type of desease!

Now I know what you meant

Hi Kiwi Flyer,

Is the charter business in Maun something for a 40 year old pilot with 1300 TT and 500 ME? I am considering to leave my well paid IT job to do what I really like: FLYING.

Cheers,

Devilbis

Hi Guys,

Devilbis: It all depends on you, your personality, etc. I cant make those life changing decisions for you. But age is not normally a problem.

Avago: another old boy wanting to return to the blue waters of the Okavango! Got a fair idea who you are. Any of these initials yours; GL, MB? Let us know.

Cheers For Now,

KF

Thanks KF,

I can't make it this season because of unfinished business, but next one I will come your way.

Cheers, Devilbis
