jean marc Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Here is a first taste of Ethiopia : flight in Gondar area (NW of Addis Ababa) ... and a few first shots from the Omo River area (south Ethiopia) meeting amazing native peoples Flying with my first plane's skin almost completed ... I have to remove maybe some stickers from the plane heavily covered ... but I love all of them and I cannot decide which to drop it is like your children you cannot choose Also I made a second skin yesterday evening - much less stickers covered ! some shots at the end - flying in northern Niger : so 2 African planes to fly in Open LC Africa which is fantastic at low altitude 1 2 3 4 maps 5 many things to tell about this beautiful country ... a post to prepare next ... 6 7 8 9 10 Southern Ethiopia - Omo River - a full post in the future about this great area ... needs more free time to complete it 11 12 Second plane skin For the Curtiss P-36 by VS 13 Northern Tchad Near Djado plateau and Tadrart Rouge (Southern Libya & Alegeria) - 2 wonderful areas ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Many things in fact on each shots could be detailed : old rock art paintings sites, ancient forts (border), slave trade, desert way of life ... sure the desert is not empty and only sand Happy flights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
