On Tuesday 15th of May and rain showers... no gliding today.

The everyday life of the crop spraying pilot in Africa in the 70ties.

For example flying the Pawnee with a passenger (a fellow pilot).

This page is not finished. In due course I will get more details, so bare with me. Anyway, it is about ferrying a Pawnee and a fellow pilot not in a hopper but both men sitting in a cockpit sort of side by side.

Air taxi, two in a Pawnee 25 minutes.

Air taxi required, engine ceased on G-ASOV. Paavo to the rescue.

Two in a Pawnee again, air taxi 2hrs 20minutes from Khartoum to New Halfa.

Paavo Galkin was the Pawnee passenger, no fare collected!

Me and my shadow Pilatus Porter somewhere in the Libya desert.

The following photos are from another era, when Norman flew for The Nile Safaris Aviation Company in the..... and what the flat nose tyre caused on landing. Things do happen and specially for the people who do things. 

C404 flat nose tyre was the cause of this incident at Zalingei Darfur in Sudan 1984.

...the nose wheel dug deep into the runway.

Plenty runway ahead, not required today!

Now lmost stopped.

Recovery by Toyota.
