Leg 6 Cairo-Mombasa with TRB!


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I will get this leg posted as soon as I can but I have got problems with Image sites like photo bucket not wanting my images at the moment so I can't give you any shots until they have been uploaded so I am sorry that I can't post now but I will when I can.

Joe is aware.

I loved the choice of AC, every one of them... outstanding! That was a long haul and you did well to avoid choosing a tube-o-chairs and doing one hop at FL 350. Thanks for some great shots, even if PB rained on your parade a little.

John
