Willy's African Adventure II

The old saying goes, plans only last as long as first contact with the enemy. The enemy in this case being range. The closer I got to Mokhtar, the worse my chances of making it to Gao looked. Eventually, it got to the point that if I did continue on, I'd be on fumes if I got there, so I decided to take the penalty and land at Mokhtar (It's not like there's anywhere else to land out here). Now to find those gas drums and hope the stuff aint went bad.

But I did get here just in time for the Sahara Seaplane Symposium.

Found the gas and refueled. But the beer that was left here for us is hot! Time to go on to Gao where the beer might be cooler.

That was an interesting flight. I was on the SOH server and was talking to a guy that was flying Prepar3d using FS Host server.

Willy, did he mention having to do anything extra in order to connect ... or was he able to simply type SOH's IP in the search box and join?

Cool pics, Willy. Can't wait to get to Africa myself. Still have to cross the pond they call The Med first.
 
Out of the desert and over a wooded countryside. Visibility has cleared. Nice day for flying now.
 
From what I'm hearing, I got out of the Sahara just in time. Sandstorms have kicked up. I had one flying out of Niamey, but once I got out of the desert, the visibility cleared right up.
 
Loading up to go on to FKKD. That's if I can figure out which low dive Fred is in....
 
Well I found Fred and poured him into the right seat, took off and headed south to Cameroon. Kind of a longish flight that the last good bit was in thunderstorms and I just picked the first runway I found at Doula which happened to be closed. Landed on it anyway and was glad to be there. I thought the turbulence was going to shake my floaties off. Anyway another successfull flight into the log book....

Had a slight problem with customs that took a couple of days to clear up. They weren't too crazy about my cargo. Especially the big crate marked "Nitroglycerine". A little baksheesh in the right places and it's all good now.

Off to my kind of place... FOOL
 
My original plan was leave Cameroon and head on down the coast to FCPP at the mouth of the Congo. But I think I'll just cut that corner and go direct to Leopoldsville in the Belgian Congo (FZAB).
