Flying Medical Service has definitely some of the best bush airstrips! Whether for the challenge or the sceneries. Here a flooded strip at Monik.
a volcano, Lengai and an active one that is.
a bit of low flying in Olduvai gorge.
downhill airstrip, one way in, one way out, no discussion. Wind is not a factor really.
our new recruit.
the advantage of this place is that the strip can be set anywhere, just throw a few rocks (which won’t stay white very long) et voilà.
I don’t fly this Herc’, though this is one of the very few big bush beasts I’d love to get a job onto, and watching a C 130 bush take off is always impressive.
Rift Valley, just a few small villages, a coupla airstrips down there…
time to kick some butts before I can take off from one of the Katavi park airstrips. Animals are common on strips of course, but such a variety, not so much. Zebras, Cape elands and waterbucks all together, what a treat. Even if it meant I had to run and yell like an idiot to chase them away. The other idiots were busy nose-picking somewhere. I won’t give names here but my fellow pilots know which green men I'm referring to.
