Outbackflyer Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi all, I have just returned to Oz from Zambia where I have been working flying microlights at Victoria Falls for 3 years, (06/07/&09). Now back in Alice Springs, no aircraft (yet) but hope to find a trike in March to resume flying here as winter approaches, so I will lurk around the classifieds section here. Have been flying since 1990, Gyrocopter first then some time in Robinson Helicopter and Jet Ranger, then progressed UP to an Airborne Xdege in 1995 which I used here for mustering and photography/camping trips. I really like the look of this site and look forward to the recourses here from you. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crezzi Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Welcome back to Aus ! Guess you were working for Batoka - is it still run by Kevin ? We met him a few years ago when we passed through Livingston & Maramaba (?) on a trike trip round southern Africa. He was very helpful planning the legs through Zambia as was Nico who worked for him at the time. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outbackflyer Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi John, yes, Kev is still the Chief Pilot, but Nico has moved on. We had sadly very few flying visitors there the last years due to Political... well you would know the story. Great place and lots of good times there. I posted some pics which will bring back memories for you in the Photo section. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Yes I know that story - we did 8 or 9 border crossings and the politics/ bureaucracy made each one a saga ! Nice pics BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
