Stillwater Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 For the trip from FVFA Victoria Falls airport back to Mocambique I chose a bus. Luckily an Airbus. The passengers on the left can still see the Victoria Falls. To the right of the plane is Kruger NP, South Africa. To the left Limpopo NP, Mocambique, Lake Massingir is its southern end. From the Kruger side Olifant and Letaba River feed the lake. Soon the Indian Ocean shows up in the background... Downwind into Maputo, with a nice overview of the city. The industrial harbour shows little detail (like the ones in Freemantle or Rostock, for example). But the airport works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 That was cool Gerold, how in the world did you manage to find the falls? Do you have a lat/long for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Very nice series, Gerold. Wonder how long SAA will remain airborne... very sad situation that has been a long time coming! Hope someone like the successful Ethiopian Airlines throws a lifeline. Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a lat/long for them? Yes Jack, I have added some major sights (and the OLC photoreals) into my Plan-G database. Sometimes, when I do not have coordinates, I already start searching in the web -just to find interesting background stories, history and politics.

Kipling is not in the reading program of German schools... and I am impressed you remember reading this with 5! 5 hours ago, Hauer said: Very nice series, Gerold.

I have an active booking with SAA for September... and so I also hope they will remain alive. SAA plays a vital role for, at least, South Africa travel. The current troubles are the same for every airline, I think the air travel is cut by 98% or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberhard Haberkorn Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Another set of amazing images. Our National Airline, as depicted will probably be liquidated soon. The government does not want to pour in more money to keep it afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you for the thoughts about SAA. As written above I have an active booking with them, already paid... and so I also hope they will remain alive.

Bad news, continuing a series of bad news on SAA. I can just sit, wait and keep my fingers crossed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
