herkman Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Regarding the picture of SAT\'s 907SJ in the Sudan. Was that the one where they used a baobab tree to hang the old engine in lieu of a stand? If so that is really field expedient maint.

herkman Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I spent 11 years with SAT but never went into that strip in the Sudan. I remember seeing the pictures taken during the week long process of changing the prop and engine in the most autere conditions imagineable. I believe those pictures where used by the London based employment firm during their interviews of prospective ground techs to see what they would do in similar circumstances. Incidently my present company, Safair, is desperate for herk capts and f/o\'s. They are now recruiting among US pilots for their positions worldwide. The south african licence validation is a piece of cake and you can fly until 65 so anyone out there who is interest check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
