MAF's newest copilot

Last Saturday I had a flight to Migori in Southwest Kenya, to pick up the Director of a Childrens' home.
Here you can see me performing the pre-flight 'stick your head up the exhaust' manouever.

As there was only one passenger, I took Jack along for the ride.
He took a few shots as we flew, including this one of the boys' school, Braeburn
The flight took us over the Maasai Mara where we spotted a herd of Giraffe
Here is Biggles turning final at Migori. The two checklist lights remind me to set Prop (fully fine) and Flaps (full).

In Migori Jack met some friends and swapped fishing stories with them (seriously he is describing the one that got away)





Returning to Nairobi we enjoyed the unusual experience of landing on Runway 14, which brings you in right over the edge of the Kibera slum. Billboards on final approach require a slightly higher approach angle. Note too the offset centreline!
