Finished packing up our supplies and just ready to go, when the two pilots from the Landmark planes came over for a short talk, it turns out that one of the pilots was a my airshow and party last night :). He said that the word is going around that some American and Canadian pilots are stealing all of the time (cause were so good) and that they're getting their best pilots together to make sure they win the next upcoming show. We had some laughs, and told some jokes and then we each went our separate ways and wishing each other luck in the next airshow. Finally we're ready to depart to Gaborone in Botswana.

Wonderful take off with the mountains in the background yoo hoo ;D.
Image
As you can see here, the dryness in Africa and very little vegetation. It makes you wonder how people survive in a barren place like that ???.
Image
Here and there you see some minor vegetation while we cross the Namibian and the Botswana border ;D.
Image
Lots of green vegetation around Sir Seretse Khama (FBSK) airport in the city of Gaborone :D.
Image
I did manage to land with a strong wind coming from my starboard side, as you can see here :o.
Image
Parked my plane in my hangar to perform some repairs to my AP (see if i can fix it) and change the tires and check the landing system :). Then some lunch before we take off to our final destination for today Capetown South Africa where we hopefully are going to put the final touches for our next airshow that should take place in Tanzania ;D.

More is coming. Happy flying .

Well you'll be seeing a lot more green when you head up the eastern coast of Africa! Tanzania has some nice scenery (you just gotta know where it is  ;)) a great place for an airshow!
