Thumbs up, local F/Os

Yes, that's the way it should be. You develop local talent and don't allow yourselves to become a dumping ground for all comers like they do in Nigeria

NOSTALGIA: Ghana Airways VC10, 1970's

Would anyone know if Ghanaian pilots flew the early 70's flagship 5N-ABO (maybe it was ABG or ABQ), can't recall exactly, I'm afraid.

Ghanaians were trained alongside Nigerian legends in Perth,...

I think some yellow, or perhaps brown, would have softened the harshness of the green and white. When Nigeria Airways was called Skypower way back, they had a dash of yellow in their paint scheme

Dana 737NG? Bloody ruse

Nigeria's CAA has a rule that no carrier should be allowed to fly with less than two jets (promotes safety, schedule integrity, and all that). So, if FN take-off with one A319, won't they be flouting...
