I went to Botswana, got a job with a charter company flying guests, staff and frieght out to the Safari Camps. Not everyones cup of tea but the experience gained was invaluable.

Well mainly because there are lots of commercial operations there using single engine aircraft. Try Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia, Mwanza etc. :cool:

It won't be everyone's cup of tea but I personally would prefer it to instructing :ok:

Hello there,

Any change of getting some information on Chief Pilotīs email or contact number would be appreciated.

I have 260 hours with FAA CPL, including some turbo time on Seneca.

This thread digs into the topic and it's not very positive for newbies thanks to global recession. It's bit 'late' this time of year anyway.
