Somebody enquired about my nick and asked what colour is an african eagle. This is the answer I sent. Maybe you african flyers can confirm or add something.
AfricanEagles are all the colours of Africa. The thousand shades of the blue african sky, the whites and greys and blacks of the clouds that fill the immense skies. They reflect the yellow of the savannahs, the bright green of the plains, the dust green of the bush, the dark green of the forests. The blue of the immense lakes and muddy brown of the twisting rivers. The red
and bronze of the deserts. They fly through clear skies, and dust, and haze and smoke from the great fires.
They overfly a continent whose people can offer the brightest and happiest smile ever, and at the same time look at you with the saddest of eyes.
Whoever flies over Africa and sees, feels and senses all these things is an AfricanEagle.
