I am flying into STP once a month. No avgas here mate. Try Libraville. (FOOL):)

Sam Rutherford 20th Mar 2010 16:24

business card?
 
Hi rspheiff,

Any chance you have (or could get) the company's details that does the refuelling (or companies if more than one) there? I'll try to contact them directly so that they bring some drums in for me.

This is Africa, Everything is possible!

Thanks a million!

Sam.
