When Kabul fell to Taliban,there was a Safe Air B727,5Y-IRE,that was evacuating people. Look no further for the pilot,balls of steel.

Several people have been mentioning the infamous Boeing 727 go-around at Mogadishu after a Diamond DA-42 does not vacate the runway in time. Here it is… the Captain rolls out after the 360 almost perfectly aligned with the runway in a 50 + year old jet 😎

Speed is a factor of distance and time.
120km/hr means you will travel 120km in one hour whether you swim,fly or drive in reverse.
They will arrive at the same time. Same WhatsApp group with which is heavier,1Kg of stones or 1kg of feathers.
“If a man is in need of rescue, an airplane can come in and throw flowers on him, and that’s just about all. But a direct lift aircraft could come in and save his life.”-Igor Sikorsky.

This isn’t a scene from a movie - it’s a genuine rescue that took place today by two SWT pilots. A tanker crossing from Galana to Kulalu was pushed off the causeway by raging floods & flipped on its side, the driver stranded in rising waters. Read more:

We lost soldiers yesterday in boni,but you as the minister of defense,their boss,nothing from you about it but here amplifying the Saudi /Arab agenda. I was expecting a tough statement from you but not an Arab league ambassador type of a post.
@akams_
Intra Africa travel is limited. Also in Africa we happen to fly many aircrafts ads-b non-compliant. We also have limited coverage out there reason can't see low level flying aircrafts outside the major airports zones in kenya.
@akams_
I don't think many of those in diaspora have ever been there. They only hear of how great their country was many years ago.If being deluded floats their boats,wacha wajibabe.

Mean sea level.....height/elevation above the level of the sea/ocean. Example Mombasa airport is about 200ft while Jomo is 5300ft. The higher the elevation,poor engine performance.
You can’t practice all emergencies or scenarios on a real aircraft,we have full motion simulators for that. This is an Mi-17 simulator am in for my currency check.

Helicopter can take off in 3 profiles;in ground effect(normal one),out of ground effect (vertical takeoff) and rolling takeoff (like fixed wings). Roll-on take offs use the minimum power so in case you are heavy,hot and high it’s the best profile.
@danaceda
I don’t know all of that because as you can see mine is just aerial aesthetics,but having flown almost to every single corner of Kenya,I am very impressed with this. It might not be perfect or even good,but there was a plan.
If you lose all engine power in a helicopter, you don’t fall from the sky like a brick. You can ‘glide’ in a controlled descent (autorotation) to the ground keeping a close watch at your rotor RPM.
@IanECox
I like how people assume Ethiopian military is not already in Somalia whether ATMIS or non. If you go to some cities like Baidoa,airport itself is an Ethiopian base.

And one AW-139 is rotting in the hangar
I am expecting wet leasing of police aircrafts soon..looks so intentional that a whole helicopter side of police airwing is being grounded on basis of fuel. Maybe they have few Robinson 66 somewhere which are cheap to operate waiting.
@Jasiri_9line
I can’t say well researched but well fed journalist with info.We can argue about presentation but info is there. You can’t lose such number of aircrafts and not sit down and think what might be going wrong.

@SalmahSalah
They don’t know,most of guys here have never stepped a foot in Somalia and if they did ,it was just Mogadishu ,shoot some videos and am not sure they would like to settle there. The Somalis in Somalia are okay but those in Europe or America are the loudest online ,we’re not black
@Jasiri_9line
What if the guy reports job the following day,gets his Glock/Ceska,then empties magazine on her??? What about his/her friends who are still in her security detail?? Do these people think they work with robots???
@RNgeno4real
According to the dictionary,a suburb is an outlying district of a city where people working in the city reside.Where am i wrong calling this a suburb?
@KhalifKairo
You are right there. Under civil aviation rules in Kenya,a helicopter must have at least two engines to fly at night. For instrument flying,there are more requirements most on redundancy.
@Jasiri_TEA
Social media has made me realise how huge the number of Kenyans who are out of depth in many matters is. Very quick to comment but with zero content. Is it that we don't have a reading culture or its our education system ya kusomea mtihani?
@SamiaOBwana
@Michael42681235
If you could give us the percentage of tourists who come visit kenya and don't eat pork products, we could have a better understanding of your issues. Out of the demographics you gave, do you have a rough number of tourists we receive from them?

@kinjeketile
I have been to all counties in North Eastern, and in some occasions to som,never understood where this superiority complex comes from. The only thing someone can brag with is God given hair? The word delusion should be only used on some specific people.

Tumekaa chini for long with my crew tukiwaza and we think that,plus all rescue operations,media highlighting airwing,that was the downfall…sometimes your success is your downfall. Some people couldn’t take it,their mediocrity and PR obliterated.
