  2. FIH (Kinshasa) to BOA (Boma) to MNB (Muanda, but actually Banana!) in Democratic Republic of Congo. Same airline that let a passenger smuggle a crocodile onboard as hand luggage, which led to this crash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_F...et_L-410_crash
  3. BSG (Bata) to NBN (Annobón) in Equatorial Guinea with national carrier CEIBA Intercontinental. Runway had been extended since this happened in 2008: https://aviation-safety.net/database...?id=20080416-0
  4. FIH (Kinshasa) to GOM (Goma) in Democratic Republic of Congo with Hewa Bora Airlines. About a year after this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewa_B...ays_Flight_122
  5. LAD (Luanda) to DUE (Dundo) in Angola with national carrier TAAG, back when they used to fly there.
Despite flying with all these crap airlines, my scariest flight was an international flight: DPS (Bali) to DIL (Dili, East Timor) in . Struggling to remember who that was with.
Wow, now *those* are exceptional flights!

Are you working in humanitarian aid, as an engineer? Really interesting
