I truly love flying the C 206, even after nearly a thousand hours in this aircraft; its still one of my favorites.
Flew to Chitabe camp to collect some guests, did a double shuffle as the family owns this specific C 206. Outbound and inbound at 500 ft. AGL for a scenic flight. Saw masses of game, elephant, giraffe, big herds of buffalo, zebra and hippo playing in the water to just name a few.
All I could think off the whole time was; WOW, what a way to start a day! Other people are sitting in traffic and I’m playing over the Okavango Delta with my favorite aircraft!
Oh well, I suppose that is the way it is; Living the dream came to mind once again.
My training flight for the afternoon got postponed till later as the training pilot is needed somewhere else. This gives me time to catch up on some office work and planning for the next few days and the weekend.
It was cold last night, but the day time temperatures are really nice now. Maybe the first signs that the season has turned…………?
Now it’s back to work, hope you enjoy the read.
And always remember: ONWARDS!
Herewith a quote from a friend of mine:
There is a certain stillness you find deep inside when viewing the wild open places of Africa from above…… herds of buffalo, a lone elephant bull on an endless plain, marching dunes, dancing flamingo, the swirling and meandering Kavango and the icy Atlantic crashing onto inhospitable shores.
It’s been a journey and an adventure”
