another scene from the outside. Arushans don’t get such a treat very often. This airport, nevertheless the tarmacked runway, is not even allowed to be listed as an alternate airport for such a large airplane, a Boeing 767.
(the yellow sky is due to my windshield hue, not a heavy editing)
the immigration officers had to come all the way from Kilimanjaro airport. Later a mobile stair arrived too but all the passengers had left through this emergency slide.
the nose wheel is deeply buried at nearly 90 degrees, go and figure.
an airplane circling to land. What an excitement.
today the rumors and questions ended: the pilots mixed both airports, Arusha and Kilimanjaro, 27 miles apart. Arusha is 1600m long and much narrower than Kili at 3000m about... 8 tons of fuel on board, so the fuel shortage was not an issue
