i dint get your statement, two brand new G1000 equipped 172's arrived on wednesday morning in entebbe airport, four more are set to arrive next week. this is a big leap towards the future for the school which already has a rich history in pilot training.

I was there in 1984 , we started like 20 cadets from Tz, Ke(2 short course) and UG and ended up finishing just 5 of us, I think we lost 2 already from a/c accident and illness.

I think 3 of us remain alive, 2 in UG and and myself in TZ

Amazing stuff !

I still miss Soroti , after 30 years ....

Still remember having to fly C172 , navigating solely by Map Reading as SO beacon ( by then just NDB ) used to go off due to power failure in town.

Hopefully will get a chance to visit the school one day !
