Re: Conservationist, reporter die in Mt Kenya crash
Very sad. Weather related. I went to Kenya to help assemble this aircraft in 2008. It worked hard for them, operating out of the Nanyuke runway at 6,200ft amsl (and that's before DA!). The wreck was found at 14,500ft near the top of Mt Kenya. http://wolfganghthome.wordpress.com/201 ... ane-crash/Dr Anthony King had a passion for conservation like I have never seen before, and was a stickler for making sure funding from outside sources was well used, not squandered like usually happens in Africa. This is a huge loss for Kenyan conservation. RIP my friend.
