Right, serious answers no one wants to give it seems, although nothing exciting at the moment PA38-112/PA28 and soon hopefully C152/C206/BE76 and maybe a fun flip in a CITABRIA we'll have to see what the budget can do! :}

Up all the C208 drivers! That's my favorite little beast. Also the PC12, nice aircraft if you don't mind her handling, and then some King Air. Playing with Cherokees and little cessna's too, whenever I get a chance. Did some Jabiru's too, but almost got scared of heights then...:ok:

More recently 200's and 1900's.

On my first contract guys and girls.Thought it was going to be very hard.
Must be beginners luck or something but I find it to be just ok.I know there are some bad contracts out there and Im not saying everything is always fine and dandy but it was nice to be treated like a pilot and not some piece of sh$$**$te. :E
Best regards to all in West Africa.:cool:

Aaahh, one well remembers the palm fringed shores, gentle breezes and gorgeous women thronging around at that exotic holiday locale, Lake Lokichokio.:} One particularly misses the champagne breakfasts, five star cuisine and air conditioned luxury of one's suite in the Hilton at the ICRC camp. The romantic aromal of camel **** brings back such memories as one desperatley brushes the flies off one's lobster at the Hilton bar.
