Lions under Cessna

[Capt L]

Hi Guys

Can anyone point me in the direction of that fab photo of a pride of lions sleeping in the shade of an aircraft.

I've searched high and low with no luck, so any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
CL :ok:

One of the local mags had some pics of cheetahs sitting on the cowl and wing of a C206 in Bots a couple of years back. Apparently it took a while to get them to move so the pilot and pax could do the necessary.

I believe this shot was taken at Olkiombo Airstrip, Masai Mara, Kenya. There are only two paved strips in the park - Olkiombo and Keekorock and the background to these photos looks like the Oloololo Escarpement which is closer to Olkiombo

The photograph was taken at Musiara, or Governers Camp.

Lesson for today:

Aircraft type is a Let 410 UVP-E20.

Test in the morning.

[south coast]

chopper, my boy...

you just stick to swinging your shambock!

[PPRuNe Radar]

mmmm, it looks more like a Let L410 UVP-E9 (an ex Aeroflot machine) ;)

[chopperkie]

Looks like sistership of ZS-OOF(ex 5H-PAJ).South Coast, my shambock swinging is getting to the stage of turning pro.Lots of practice recently in the desert.

Just checking to see if you're paying attention.

OK-UDC LET 410UVP-E9

Top of class with gold star!

It's simple really ;)

The Let L410 UVP-E9 is certificated based on JAR-25 by the Czech Republic and approved for operation in Denmark, India, Djibouti, Bolivia, Costa Rica and Kenya.

; whereas the Let 410 UVP-E20 is certificated based on FAR23/34 by the Czech Republic, Sweden, Brazil, Denmark, Argentina, and approved for operation in South Africa.

And I thought it was just a pisscat with 2 engines.

HeHe

:ok: :ok: CR

Pisscats? You sound like those airline monkeys who always knock the charter and contract boys but secretly would give up major body parts themselves to get out of the high speed computer controlled offices they infest and do some real flying.:E :ok:

[Woof etc]

Quite a few E20s operating on the Kenya register as well. As far as I know the E9 is approved for freight operations in SA. The lack of extra emergency exits found on the E20 precludes it from pax operations in SA.

Made me think of this one.

Thanks, Deanw.

SRT,

Sorry to dissapoint you mate. As for me - I have a lot of friends in the airlines as well as contract/charter boys(girls) so I'm not badmouthing anybody.

As an ex-chopperdriver, anything that doesn't have a rotor is a pisscat. As a lot of members in the fling wing establishment would agree.

SRT - I left the bait but didn't expect you to take it.



:E :E

Choppers? That explains it. The vibration of the beast trying to eat itself has turned your brain to mush...:E

Wouldn't mind a Cobra, though. Lekker little runabout to do the shopping and irritate taxi drivers.:ok:

[Kep Ten Jim]

Twotter -

Nail on the head there son. If I could give up my 'high speed computer controlled office' for a C206 job around the Okavango, and make ends meet, I'd phone the boss tonight with my resignation.

[Solid Rust Twotter]

Agreed, Kep'n...

If the operators of the fun stuff paid a reasonable wage and didn't lie to the crews, most of the airline boys would be beating the doors down. :(

......and they wouldnt get in cause they just dont have the hands anymore.....:} but they would be able to drink the coffee well
