Re: Flying Namibia
I had a look at your flight plan, but is curious to know where do you do custom clearing?
If at Ariamsvlei, is there a Airstrip/Landing strip both RSA and Namibie?
I thought Uppington to Keetmanshoop is the only route.
Please advise as i would like to plan a similar trip.

Just a little about Helga.
Helga is Panorama's own Iron lady (not the laundry type please!!!).
She is on the wrong side of Sierra-India-Xray-Tango-Yankee, but a will of her own. (good 4 u Helga)
We applause u for your perseverance & guts.
She's been dreaming about this 'T-shirt' for a long time now, and o-boy she is going to wear it with pride,
just wait, watch and see.
