Globalflight, thanks for that info!

I love to hear about Africa, and even more so about flying in Africa. Any more stories? I am listening .

Yes, I would agree that when it comes to Africa, just getting there is important.

I had read a fascinating article in African Business, I also like the magazine New African, both of which are hard to get here in LA( I know of one newstand in West LA that has them), on ATC in Africa. They said in regard to Zaire/now DRC, that planes will keep in contact as long as possible with the previous country or jump ahead to the next country.

I was just so amazed how long it took to fly over Zaire( I prefer that name over DRC, especially when there already is a Congo ). Completely pitch black dark and not one light on the whole time, ugh...

I want to hear more.
