Any Bandeirantes Around?
Hey you chums in the dark continent!
Anyone know of any Bandeirantes for sale, or even just Bandeirantes sitting around doing nothing?
Also, could anyone tell me how to find out what aircraft are on the various registers in the various African states?
questions are a bit curly, but thanx in advance for any triers!

Was one derelict at Freetown...
The Skypower Express bandits in Nigeria are in excellent condition, last year had full rebuilds by a team from Embraer, only 4,000 hours since new on the youngest pair...new props, OH PT6's etc.
However my experience is a Bandit is no good on a rough strip and are startingto corrode and debond big time. Some spares such as landing gear are becoming a big prob and costly to obtain and/or overhaul...

Skin Friction,
For a complete directory, you may want to try and get a copy of a book called ‘JP airline fleets” (issued every year around May by an edition house called Buchair.
May want to try www.buchair.co.uk
It will cost you about 40 GBP and is worth it for job hunters worldwide.
