i went with on a magnetic survey for the observatory to northern Namibia to get it over with before whatever sinister was going to happen with independence negotiations and the feared UN resolution 435

there was a light up somewhere but we had to fly under it, the war was by no means over. this was sector een-zero and aircraft stay low

here, North of Oshakati on the way to Ruacana, in Angola or then maybe not. we were put down and take out next day from some airstrip somewhere and left the next day

fun flying. the shonas were full after good summer rains and the pilots would go real low. sometimes daring it lower than the macalani palm trees

daily cumulus buildups filled the sky
