Not technically "Seen at FAOR", but nonetheless, Raffles accompanied Moertoe and Boepie to Ndola today. Here are a couple of screenshots from RadarBox of their return to Jo'burg this afternoon. They were flying in ZS-SIH. Hope you enjoyed it Raffles?

We're back and downing a frosty todd!

I'm going to put Raffles on the spot and say 

[Raffles]

Sure as soon as I get to my main computer!

Since this is the seen at OPTIA thread, I will don another thread for the actual flight.

What about a snap shot of the 'Moertoe'-Captain in his uniform next to his aerie?? 

[Bell 407]

Hey Moertoe, Boepie and Raffles check this out. I had a look at the Exif data of this post on AvCom and its from Friday 5 April which was your departure shot out of FAOR to Ndola  .

[Moertoe Pilut]

Thanks for that 407

I have spent many hours in ZS-SIH on the coastal route DUR-PLZ-CPt with Capt. Terry Jones at the front end and me on the jump seat.

Did you take the pics, 407?

[Raffles]

Looks like a great day, sorry I couldn't be there!

Unfortunately not. I couldn't make the trip that day. They guys say it was very interesting.

Been waiting a while to capture something like this with the Moon in the shot. Missed it last week as the aerie passed even closer to a fuller Moon. But anyway, seen overhead FAOR this morning at 10:09. Emirates UAE772 A6-ERN A343 OMDB - FACT Fl360 405Kts making some nice contrails for us with the colder temperatures here today 

[Raffles]

Good photography there Bell 407!

It helps to have an IS lens to stop the shaking about.
