Raoul - his impressions

" Last but not least I give even m to a mustard. During the trip was I going on and that notebook-blog-stat. Not quite unintentionally, because I wanted to fully appreciate the enjoyment of the experience and focus to fly. The more I have the two hard-working Blog authors acknowledge that they have everything documented so promptly, thoroughly and accurately. The home remaining fan-club was thus constantly well informed about our African adventure. Fever was waiting for the next installment ... add

mustard is not so easy because my impressions are consistent with those of Philip and Wolfgang. I can because, at best, a few derscore Un and add call sign from a personal point of view:

underscore the absolute thickness earned the professional, especially but also warm reception. The aircraft combines virus-containing yet, even well over such a large margin as between F16-Top Gun and 200-hour greenhorn. If then a night to come ROYAL campfire and a drink ... (look Wolfgang, can be formulated as politically correct and I).

Africa is not only hot and jungle. Africa is sometimes cold and industry and mining. South Africa is in an vielerl respects quite different from Austria (no NA). The apartheid is abolished, but walls with high voltage wires d'up leave no doubt as to what social climate is s I find. Any halfway reasonable tourist knows how little there is to be autonomous movement. In any case, in the Great ßstadt. And there is big really big.

In the bush again, it is the lack of fence, which advises caution. Fences's there are many - of a total of probably tens of thousands of miles - but they do not separate one from the wild animals. One is with them on the same page. Who would do this in the zoo or circus? A tingling sensation ...

Underline value are different in South Africa and the flying conditions. In particular, the apparently less bureaucratic, purposive, practical and most self-dealing with aviation. Here are some examples:

- Flu gzeuge can take off and land on fairly flat, straight surfaces and if they are enough la ng around. In South Africa you can also practice the practical, including the inspection of the landing facilities by low flying over to the subsequent landing. What is a landing area in Austria last thing they need to - among many restrictions - to be used may, I shall not enumerate a lack of space to try.

- aircraft fall into undesirable flight conditions. In South Africa I've been practicing how to from this comes out. In Austria, I can only practice on how to avoid coming into it. Euge must Flugz

Thank God rarely, but sometimes but as a precaution or not

-landed - . That can only be trained hint in Austria. In South Africa, can the practice to the moment when you see if it's would have fit or not. This is a complete approach to inspection of the selected area in a few meters. can coordinate air traffic in remote areas is necessarily itself in South Africa to learn how this works very efficiently -

. In Austria, you talk to FIS, or lack of ability (frequency) or fear of the office rather not. (Fairness, have to mention it, however, that the transition from self-controlled, centrally controlled Ertem transport in South Africa have not solved optimally displayed)

I've learned a lot of what I was in Austria not or not could have learned so well. 20 hours in the air with landings to about 30 (very!) different places within a few days my normal usual flying experience is far superior. Bush Pilot training is really training, but with a lot of experiences and pleasure.

I would especially like Do not ignore the two South African - I can fly after all comrades Ian and Glen, to me professionally in their roles as accountants, teachers, safety pilot, navigator, camera man, guardian angels, guides ... say to side were. They were just Suuuuuuper and have this in itself is wonderful flying holiday then the crown, the Schlagobershäubchen with powdered sugar attached.

This is in no way diminish the contributions of all other parties who contributed both on the part of Sky Africa and in the group to the success of the action have. Without Wolfgang any case, would I not been to Africa.

Allen: Thank you! "
