Hey people,apologies for my recent lack of activity on the
blog but it has been because i have been so busy:) its great to be back in
camp,i moved back into my little ex-portuguese war building which has been
rebuilt to resemble a respectable white mans abode:)i share this with my
professional hunter apprentice buddies:)the house otherwise known as casa de'
gintrap....named after a previous pilot who had way to many tequilas with a
rich american client and was found passed out in the room where we keep our confiscated
poachers gintraps:)our house has no windows and it has a 200litre avgas drum
for a water boiler but we love it like you cannot believe:)our own space away
from the ballies(old grumpy camp managers) and the sometimes painful american
clients,it gives us space to chill and play a bit of music and drink a beer or
two:)friendships formed here will last a lifetime...
well back to the flying.....and man oh man are we flying a
stack this year:)more clients than usual but more importantly we are in the
process of taking over a large profitable contract for a sugar estate on the
zambezi river :)i am currently doing all there flying and it has been
fantastic:)finally flying everyday:)with generally nothing less than 4 on
board....aswell as the odd medi-vac and full freight load, keeps things very
interesting and always a challenge:)so my hours are clocking up and there could
be a new bigger aircraft on its way up if the contract works out.....holding
thumbs and watch this space:):):)feeling really comfortable on the c206
again:)i have been lucky enough
to do a bit of hunting in the 2 weeks i have been back:)3 reedbuck so far:)and
flew low over a herd of fifty elephants the other day:)man i love my job:)
anyway possibly leaving for South Africa tomorrow to collect
the last C206 and bring it up to camp:)it means i will be home for my birthday
on the 06/06:)i cannot explain to you the excitement if it all works out:)
will keep you posted:)literally....
