@Lionheart I learned of that alluring destination thru a chance meeting in an Airport Lounge with a Kenyan who works there …
I got the impression it was the perfect spot , far away from prying eyes , for a rewarding “CSR” adventure with a high profile or prominent “Mke Wa Mtu” …
Hehe, perhaps she’d like that, ask her. There you’ll basically be lost to the world. I understand the UK spent a huge amount to fill a valley with rocks to make an airport so that the place is accessible, but you still need specific types of aircraft and a daredevil pilot to dance with the winds and get wings to settle on the short runway there. The damn place is only 6 miles by 10.
What a place.
Ah! It’s like a seduction of the land by the bird, a number of trials before you actually go in for a real landing. Looks simple from the mounted camera, but I’m sure to the guys in the cockpit it’s a real battle. If you are a drunk passenger oblivious of Nairobi politics, just daydreaming of running nude on the beach, you’ll be deliriously happy.
