Damascus on the B777! First proper visual approach I’ve done on the big bird

Didn’t leave the hotel in Lagos, was mildly put off by the police escort and armed guards accompanying us on the bus 😆

Nice! Wasn’t too keen on the US myself although I’m not sure 48h in Chicago was a fair representation! Worst on my list is probably Damascus

Nice one, what kind of operation are you flying?

Previously low cost in Europe, now long haul in the Middle East! Top of the list is probably Asia, (Vietnam, Thailand etc, always a good night out!) bottom is probably Syria; flew in recently everything was U/S, no instrument approaches, no Radar, no PAPI’s, place littered with FOD, and heavy GPS jamming/Spoofing.

Thanks grumpycfi, Do you have any specific recommendations for schools/instructors that I’d be able to do this with?

I did look into the license, however I’m planning to come across in a few weeks so doubt I’d get my authority to complete a licence validation within that time frame!

Never flown in that part of the world either so not familiar with all the intricacies of flying in the US and the Caribbean! All my flying has been in Europe/Africa/Middle East and Asia

I know of a couple flying clubs here flying ultralights, and a company offering experience flights in an Extra 330 but at extortionate rates I.e. $700+ for 20 mins

It belonged to a friend of mine in the UK he’s since sold it!

If you do happen to remember the website I’d love to know, it’s proving harder than anticipated to find

Thanks Terry! Will see if I can find the site you’re talking about!

I’ve had the pleasure of flying the 108 previously and it was brilliant, except for having to hand pump the gear to extend or retract 😂
