Hauer Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Performed a flight today ( 4 hours, 16 minutes) from Nairobi, Kenya to Durban, South Africa. A little cloudy at times but with plenty of image capture opportunities along the way... Herman Pushback of the Airbus A320 on the tarmac of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Up, up & away Flying over Tanzania Cruising at FL340 (for some reason my landing lights remained on above FL100 but I soon dealt with it) Approaching the Cahora Bassa Lake in the distance ( a major source for hydro electric power in the region) Crossing the Limpopo River being South Africa's northern border (plenty of croc's) Via Swaziland to the Province of Natal Airport views prior to doing a sharp turn to the left for the approach On approach King Shaka International Airport Happy passengers, plenty of cargo (now where's that beer?)

Just trying my best to keep SAA in the air, Eberhard! In fact, last night I heard that the Government had put money aside to retry but I just cannot imagine that they will make a success of it... at least, not the way it was previously managed. Sad!

Herman This is indeed a sad story! Without being political, an airline with 85 year history forced to its financial knees, just because of incompetence, corruption and mismanagement.
