Wonderful Flight Report of Many Years in Africa

The link below takes you to a flight report from a pilot who spent many years flying Skymasters in the African bush. It's full of exciting incidents and praise for the airplane in that environment: hostile ground, few airports, fewer fueling spots. (BTW, those who remember me know I sold my 337 4 years ago after 21 years with 3 of them, and these articles let me relive my piloting era.)

Thank you for sharing that brings back many memories for me I've flown many hours in Africa in the 337s.
