To all you boys and sometimes girls who have flown in the Delta, we are going to start a newsletter to send out every couple of months (if there is enough feedback) to let you know what is happening in this strange town. Please let me know if you are keen on my E-mail address and we can get the ball rolling

[Tau]

Hello all

Swamp Rat have you had many takers??? I presume you're at Swamp now??

Amex any new job prospects for you??

Have decided this airline thing isn't me so am looking about for something a little more exciting that pays better than a garbage collecter. And this is not a rumour.....I could be back in deep dark Africa very soon...........

Kiwi Flyer how's the survey thing?? I'm guessing your the Northern FATMATT not the slightly larger SAS FATMATT!!??

Addios

Hi Monty 'n all

[Swamp Rat]

Well guy`s as most have probably heard, we have had a fatal accident here in Maun. The 1st of May will go down as a black day. All here are in a state of shock, and mourning the loss of Richard and those on board.

What you guys may read on the posting about the Botwana crash isn't entirely accurate.

The accident was seen by one of the Delta Air boys, who was about 0.5 a mile behind, also on a game flight.

There is a memorial service tomorrow 4 May, in a nearby chapel. We will all be there to lend support to the family who have arrived in Maun, and to the Maun flying fraternity.

I will post more news once more becomes available.

[Dirk]

Any more news on what happened ?
I knew Richard from flying school, he got his Comm about 1 month before I did.
Very tragic...
Sympathy to all the families of those involved.

[Kiwi Skiv]

Sorry to hear about the Accident.
Count me in,
Even though I didnt pole I'm sure a couple of seasons playing for the dogs must count.Howzit Matt got over your trip home yet?Monty you horrible little man Howzit?Hey Josh joining you with flying Spastic Palm trees in training at the Mo.

[This message has been edited by Kiwi Skiv (edited 06 May 2001).]

[Swamp Rat]

Skiv you savage, don`t tell me you are actually getting your **** together and we are going to see you out here soon ?
You won`t recognise what`s happened to Maun.

Irish I have passed on your messages, I missed out but Friday was the anual Sports Bar Birthday, the theme was Hollywood, so you can just guess how the lads went to town.
The Mack Air guys did the Austin Powers thing. Woody as Dr.Evil and SWB as Austin, I`ll try get some photos to you.

[Kiwi Skiv]

Yep finally getting my License but have decided to go Fling Wing.Got my PPL fixed wing so I'm not a total loss.

[krusty 145]

Howzit Swampy
Count us in on the News letter, Used to work with Mark And Sam at Swamp, Sorry to here about the crash, Say howzit to the Matonyola Marcoos
Daza

[Swamp Rat]

G`Day Mr Kirkland, good to hear you`re still in one piece and enjoying the 145, when are you coming down to visit ?
A lot has changed in Maun since you and Mr Bloomberg left, you will have to come see for yourself, Congrats by the way I heard that you and Anita tied the Knot !!!
I will tell Markoos you say Howzit.
He`s still a bit down since the accident as it was one of his pilots and aircraft.
MJG and AIE still doing Ntswis by the millions, Dan McAllister now on line with Swamp, flying your aeroplane, sends his best to you.
Hope to speak to you soon
Monty.

[Kiwi Flyer]

[Kiwi Skiv]

I'd be in Monty but I've given up drinking.NOT!!!! tell me when and where

[Swamp Rat]

Skiv we will see what kind of response we get from all the lads and how many we can get hold of, but I think it`s a pretty good idea, maybe one of the camps will let us have it for the weekend !!!
Otherwise Moremi or Santawani could work :)

[RockSpider]

Sounds like a greate idea! Pity we can't come in MDT, seeing that some of it's parts are now use by wild animals....!! Just kidding Monty, will talk to the other old rat & maybe fire up the old "Found on rubish dump", it worked once!!!
Keep us posted

Short Wheel Base and I are getting together tonight over a beer or two and should have it sorted.

P.S. We have something BIG in the pipeline but will say more when we have something for sure, but It`s looking good so far.

Swampy :)

[knobjuice]

Hey swamprat and SWB, you midgets. I've escaped from Loki for the time being, and am in London where there's some damn fine poontang walking around at the moment. It's a great change to be able to walk around without anyone shooting at me or having to worry about helicopter gunships. The big fella Dain, has interviews in Dubai in July for hopefully a september start. I think he just wants to go there for all the russian sluts and euro trash.....so would I!! Keep me on the mailing list ******. Matt P, you're all class man, with that gem of a pic you sent me. Reminds me of some nurses up in Loki!!!
Copya later guys

IRISH you wop

Dumela all you lucky sh!theads living the life under palm trees, It must really suck.
I hear that Knobjuice is on his way over this weekend, if this continues It`s going to start a huge exodus.
Is everyone flying Islanders ? If that`s the case then you can keep it :rolleyes:
Irish I think I will fit one of those bushies from XaiXai into Tuka`s box cause I know you must be missing them by now :D

[ 27 July 2001: Message edited by: Swamp Rat ]

:eek:

Rat
Won't you put some castle in Tuka's box - Muna after croc there's 4 more Kiwis on the way down here - its going to be Maun by the sea! There's a few 1900's around and otters but loads of islanders, but more importantly lots of time off, a beach and a medical university!
Cheers Raa

Some one say DC3?

I'm bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. Please furnish further info and allow some one gatvol of corporate k*k, snot en trane to once again soar the wild blue yonder, ride upon a star, reach for the sky.... "sob", it's just too romantic for me. The cure of course is beer, and lots of it so if you gentlemen and ladies would allow me to stand you all one when and if it comes together, I would be honoured. ...Thereafter I hope to just be trashed between bouts of Pratt and Whitney induced deafness.....

[Skaz]

Knobjuice, all the intrigueing little adverts you ripped off while huffing and puffing in a little red phonebooth....disappeared outta the office, probably stuck up in the loo in the DA house

a small brainfart during C-of-T saw AJJ proceeding down da RWY 08 in a shower of sparks...
Maun ATC: "AJJ 'arrival' time 1605, next right to maintenance..."
Delta Scare Crash Test Dummy: :D (in slow Kiwi drawl) "hang on mate, we aint done crashin' yet...."
holy beejeezus...down to 3 206's ! Waz got AJB up here, so gonna be turnin' & burnin' in PWS' pride & joy! :cool: :D

Obviously not enough money in the budget for gear warning horns?? and AJA?? My god.......have you been letting Sparks and boys fly or was it Vagina?? Was talking to the two ex flatmates this afternoon. Soxes first boyfriend is sitting down in Queenstown studying for his final couple of ATPL's and would you beleive it....getting friendly with the next door neighbours dog (Shhhhhh don't tell sox!) The other caaaaaaaaaant had his birthday yesterday drinking up large in Sydney and is in recovery mode. Had a weekend up north with a few Xugana boys as well a couple of weekends ago. Was supposes to be out on a boat for 3 days but the weather was crap so had to stay inside and consume fathers 4lt bottle of rum instead. Bugger!! So Knobs off to the seaside?? Feel sorry for the rest of you fine people down there! What does that make it now 1 Kiwi, 1 Frog, 1 Roo, and a Drunk, woops I mean Irishman.

[knobjuice]

Swamp Rat.All I can say is JGFYC (just get ****ed you ****). All the rest of you fags, I'll be having some Hairoun beers for you all. Will hopefully see Josh and Frankie pretty soon. In the meantime, I'm spending my time in St Vincent looking for sluts. Brado seems to be the authority on that matter now. He's making up for lost time for never having been laid in Maun, although there might be a 15yr old schoolgirl who challenge that!!!!! Sean, I got your email. Will reply to it soon.
Copya later fags
Croc

[Swamp Rat]

I have been getting quite a lot of e-mails lately asking for information on flying in Maun, and Maun in general, so instead of replying to everyone individually here it is,

The season in Maun begins about end of May begining of June and lasts until about November. The best time to pitch up looking for a job is around Jan or Feb when the companys start looking for new guys to fly the next season, it takes about two to three months to do your line training and get your work and resident permits before going on line.
There are eight companys based in Maun and between fifty and sixty full time pilots live and work out of Maun.
The fleets vary but all fly the C-206, other A/C incude C-172, 207, 210, Cessna Grand Vans, and Islanders.

I think what will also help is reading through this thread and figure out what all the lads are like, this will give you a good idea
:D ;) :D

[126.9]

:) I was up there for 3 years in the early to mid Eighties. Boy what memories! Sounds to me like you lot have not only kept the spirit going, but also rekindled it some! Good on ya!!! :D

[knobjuice]

Surf's Up !!!!
I spent my sunday on the island paradise of Bequia, surrounded by crystal clear waters( yes Wazza, the CLARITY of the water was incredible), with yachts, many palm tress and teenage american sluts, practising my surfing and drinking ice cold beers. I thought about you fags back in Maun.....but not for very long!!
Wazza, what's the story, you coozer. I think I heard one piece of good news. It's made my whole year, but not my hole weak!!! Email me you loser.

Gidday all you Maun dogs out there. I thought I'd got away from all you smelly buggars years ago but the old boys turn up everywhere. You might remember me as Juliet Charles or Duano.
Monty you crazy little man, are you still there shagging all the overlanders and bar girls? I'm a bit too far away to talk to you on scrot, I'm in NZ flying metro's with TAU and Greg. Missing the bush.
Irish, howsit going in Paradise.
Swamp Rat, put me on the list.

Cheers all.

"up the bum no babies"

[Swamp Rat]

Duano, long time no hear mate !! Really good to find that you`re in one piece and I am very sure keeping the art of womenizing to it`s usual high :D ;) :D
Have you heard from KC ? I last spoke to him about 2 months ago, flying Dash-8s I think.
When are the 2 of you going to get your arses out here and come and drink copious amounts of Castle ;)

We are going to try for a big reunion some time next year, I will let you all know more when it`s finalised.

I had a look at those photos of that trip that we did to Moremi with Ev, Lou and Craig the other day, we need to do that again sometime.
Give me a shout on my E-mail address and I will get back to you with some more news !

Duano keep well mate,

Monty the Swamp one

[yupik]

I need to get out of Alaska,where should i look for Bush work in Africa?

[Swamp Rat]

Yupik

Read this thread and it will give you an idea as to what it`s like bush flying in the Okavango Swamps, in northern Botswana.

I posted some info on about page 5 as to when how and where, I hope it helps ?

Swamp Rat

[flyingdog]

Hi guys ! I have got Irish licence 800 hours and BN2 type rating ... I flew as volunteer for a British Charity for almost a year and I (and my banker)now look for a real job ! ... do you think it is a good idea to come to Botswana and look for a job ? any advice to give me ? Thanks very much ;)

[Swamp one]

Hey Maunites,
Its been a while but Im glad to hear your all still livin it up in that Oasis of a ***t hole.
Im stoked that my boy is still roaming the streets and "Sox" whoever you may be,good on you for taking on the challenge,I hope he is still sniffing peoples balls!
Have been burning around in ATR's for the last 2 years,based out of Rangoon (Myanmar,Burma)good fun but no Maun.
Daza,we need to get together for some more formation,bring the 145,AIE would still kick its arse!
I have no internet in Burma just e-mail.
Watch out for Donkeys,they hurt! :eek:
Lets have another Ntswi airshow?
Senior General

[Swamp Rat]

Long time no hear Sam,
How are the ATR`s going ?
All at Swamp is well, AIE & MJG did 230 hours between them this August, so pretty busy.
We are trying for a reunion around April next year, I will let you know how, where and when soon.

Monty

[Sox]

Hi guys.Got about 5 mins to spare before heading back out to the now smoke infested okavango swamps.Flying in Maun at the moment is flat out and i think all the boys are suffering.That maybe from too many nights at the bull and bush in the last week though (Fat Matt is back in town).Swamp one i never met you i got here just after you left.Have heard some stories though.I have had sox about a year now hes still the same, sniffing crouches and eating the odd dead donkey on the side of the road.We have taught him to sniff overland truck girls now before one of the filthy maun pilots trys to take her home and finds something he doesnt like.

Brado that Carmen chick is asking about you so i gave her your number and she said shes coming over to visit.For those of you that dont know about Carmen then i wont say anything more than two words (16 and fat).Don't worry mate im only joking i hear your making up for 2 yrs with no root over in the Carribean.

Knobjuice hows things are you back in London or still on the **** with Irish.We need to meet up to have a beer and i now have more good yarns for you that i think you will like.P.S I flew hitler youth chick to Oddballs the other day i filled her in on what your up to.

Tau you mother f****r.Hows life pushing buttons and earning **** pay.Sick of The Mt - Hamilton - The Mt yet? Still polling here at Delta but have handed in my notice and will be leaving end of November.One months holiday in Europe then NZ then maybe follow the smell and head on over to the beach lifestyle.Might catch up with in NZ when i return.

Later all you Maun and ex Maun losers.

Sox (wonder dog) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Swamp Rat]

Flying Dog

Cheak around page 5 of this thread, it might help, if not let us know and I`ll try get back to you with as much as I can.

P.S. I couldn`t think of anything worse then 6 to 700 hours in a Islander :D :D :D

Swampy

[B Sousa]

Since this seems to be the place for information. How about any Helicopter Companies in that area looking for qualified drivers. Mainly Bell series 205/206 I dont do Robbies...
Also to the guy in Alaska, why would one want to leave Beautiful Barrow........NOT Work Permits and licensing on the Dark Continent are arcaic beyond belief. It was much better when they had no rules and if Mugarbage keeps it up that may happen again. Say hello to all the fun folks in FAI...(ex-Tundra driver)

[knobjuice]

To all you guys who aren't from Oz (GOD'S COUNTRY)here's the facts:
AUSTRALIAN RUGBY- Super 12 champions,
