Hey pete and JP.
I see that you guys still browse the african forum even after you'd left the continent ;)
I dont thik we'll ever forget the characters we met and the fun we had both in the air and at the camp

Heya Guys,

What is the requirment to go and work in Arusha and what companies are there and what do they fly(would they take a pilot with 230 hours)

Regards,

PEPSI

Ahh Mo, good times buddy good times. I bloody miss it so much. Mind you life at FL450 aint bad either. Nah it still doesnt beat 230 knots down the Grumeti River at a 6ft :cool: Take care buddy.

[flyhardmo]

6' is a but high for your standards helldog. Were you avoiding a hippo standing on shallow ground.Good hear your its going well for you in those biz jets.

Pepsi 230hrs is a bit low for arusha unless you get an F/O slot with regional or safari express. You might be able to find work in Dar or Mwanza. There are definately jobs in Tanzania. good luck

One day when you're flying big jets around you'll weep when you reflect back to these times. Enjoy them while you can. Excellent video

[406pilot]

nice video mo,
kingpost is right, everytime im inbound from joburg decending into dar i look down at the selous and wonder wht my bush pilot friends wound be upto? personally i made more friends when i flew charter then the airlines,so why did i leave? beats me, the money is not gud and the adrenalin is non-existent and the chicks are not interesting anymore,would love to go back and just do one more flypast on the sand river banks of the selous....ah well i still tune in to 118.20 from time to time and listen out for friends..
keep em up there fellows,
no more 406pilot


ps:sorry guys but when when i did my flypast i never did look at the altimeter,so i really dont know how low is low for some guys,i think when u see naushad doing it he is looking outside like its supposed to be done..

Thats right. At least we can say that we have enjoyed some bush flying. Cadets
are really missing out on a great time.

406 how are things mate. You know you can always walk back into GA but look what happened to Bob last week when he stepped out of his Fokker into that little f*çker of a Seneca.

[406pilot]

hey mo, howzit going with u.

im ok still farting around in that sturdy little right seat, heard about that seneca, never really thought it was a bush plane, i loved flying the c-310 down the rufiji river...tht plane never let me down not once did i regret flying it....rip 5h-TZA

keep em up there fellows,

no more 406pilot

[helldog]

Hey Mo when are you making the next video? Looking forward to it buddy. Man I would love to go back and do it again chief. Ok mate I am off to the gym now because I am fat. Mind you 406 I am not up to your standards yet:p

[B737 lover]

Nice video Mo. Tell me are you a Pilot or a Video Producer? Welldone Man Cheers:D

[petesevenseven]

Helldog I think we need to go back down and have a few Killi's at the Masai Camp with the boys for the next Movie Film on Bush Flight in Tanzania;)!!!!! I bet that would make you loose a few pounds.

Happy Landings to all in TZ!!!!


Pete:ok:

[flyhardmo]

Hey Mo when are you making the next video?
The next movie on bush flight will be an educational feature on a different sort of bush. :}
A smooth Approach to touch down hopefully on a prepared strip using fullflap with a high possibility of an overshoot. :oh:
Undershooting will put you in the sh!t.

[I.R.PIRATE]

Although undershooting has been known to keep the bush-baby population down.:E:E

[lowbypass]

hey mo!...did not know u could be a producer!!!...:}

i didnt see 5H-AZT buddy

those LOW LEVELS!!!, if only could be done in a 737...:cool:
