Anybody managed to rent anything in Dakar, Senegal?

Going there without the plane next week, and suddenly wondered if there was any GA at all there.

Not expecting any replies, but if you don't ask...

Safe flights, Sam.

Back in '82, an acqaintance of mine was in charge of the RAF handling unit there and he told me he did a lot of flying in a Cessna 150 he hired from the local club.

I was doing some work at Dakar airport just over a month ago and visited both the civil and military sides of the airport. The only small aircraft I saw was a Luxemburg company owned BN2T, being operated on sea search for boat people.
