Thatīs the one, sold to Cargo Bull, just forgot to mention that it was Bandundu, not Mbandaka, wrong in the initial post.

Some nice photos found here, http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/07/congopilots_slideshow200707?slide=1
Which operator out of Ndolo didn't break a Let 410 yet ? Air Tropique?
I just read this thread, is Cargo Bull operated by capt Alfred Sommerauer?? He used to be very good friends with my parents back in those days. I hope nobody got injured!
does anbody have contact with him on this forum?

L-13, yes it's Alfred Somaurauer's airplane, he was flying it at that moment !
I recieve a mail from his ex-wife, and Som is OK, no one was injured, only the plane is U/S.
He's back in Belgium for his son's wedding this august!
Cheers!
