Here's the bird that I rode to Atlanta on Saturday morning before connecting to Kansas City. Beautiful Sunrise over ATL.

Sabi Sand neighborhood right next door. Even had a glimpse of the rare black rhino during the trip. But they are way too shy and skiddish to get a good photo of them.

My biggest disappointment about safari at Londolozi was not taking a Federal Air flight into the property. I guess if I bought a seat for my 30kg suitcase I could have. Was still fun flying into Mpuglanga and out of Hoedspruit Air Force Base.

Landing into the bush airstrips is a lot of fun. Last 2 or 3 years we've flown in and out of on 6-8 seater This time I virtually had the jump seat on this guy and was able to get a couple of good landing videos.

Planes are amazing! You have to just love planes, and why wouldn't anyone? Planes are cooler than helicopters and fly even enhanced. I consider you're love of planes is literally justified.

Here's why I love flying, albeit in a video taken on our approach to Ulusaba Airstrip in the Sabi Sand region of Africa. We're aboard a Beechcraft King Air 200.....I share some of my content with Dulini (the lodge we stay at), hence their watermark.
