... Following Staiduks adventure i was called upon another trip too.

I just want to widen my FS-horizons by VFR-crossing a continent we don't see a lot off around here ... Africa.

My ambitious plan is to cross the whole of it, back to Europe, starting from South-Africa. I would like to do it in classic planes... Still not sure weather to stick with one type or not.

Anyhow, here's my first flight from Overberg to Robertson, 2 small airfields about 30 minutes from eachother...

I took the Beechcraft Twin Bonanza - JoJo.

Take-off at dawn over this magnificent country...


Starting the engines and powering up...



Taking her up, together with the rising sun...


Climbing towards 6.000 ft...


The sun is a welcome sight, cause want to go VFR...


Passing a gorgeous mountainrange...


On final at Robertson, this lady behaves perfectly... a true piece of art...


Shutting down, ready for some last testing before doing some serious flights...

"Groar"? Or "meow"??

Anyhow,nice piccies.

Awesome! I plan to do an African Tour myself after my cross-country trip. Where's abouts are you visiting in Africa? Nice plane too  8)

I was thinking off something in the line of straith up North, but i guess i'll have to check the maps first before i disappear in the African rainforest by lack of fuel...  ;D

Exploder: its " Hakuna matata.... and Hoppa! Not in front off the kids!" ...  ;D
