Lift needed - Kosi Bay to Richards Bay
Good day
We need a lift from Kosi Bay to Richards Bay and back on Friday 21 June please.
We are visiting Ponta Malongane and my wife needs to go to Richards Bay for dialysis on that day, so if anybody can offer us a lift it will be great, we will pay for fuel etc.
Thank you.

Reply to @ptomblin: Not an answer to your question but some 'trivia' - On Lufthansa's Airbus 380 between Or Tambo and Frankfurt they consistently show the departure airport (Johannesburg) as Olifants River Bridge on their in flight maps !!!
Home Base correction
Hi guys
Just to clarify, Mango (738's) and Comair (Kulula.com and the local British Airways operator with various 737 models) only have pilot bases in Cape Town, along with SA Express (CRJ2 and DH4Q) , SAA (738's) and SA Airlink (ERJ and Avro RJ's). This is not the 'home' bases of these airlines. All of them have the Head Offices in Johannesburg (OR Tambo International).
Its not a biggie, I know...but still, its more correct.
re: Scammers
They asked me to pay $140 for said dog, Jake, as a gift for my husband. I found out about this scam and have been talking to "derick wayne" for over two days now trying to get any information from him that I can. I have gotten the same as everyone. The email was very well written and convincing. What first flagged me was in the craigslist ad there were two reds and a black. The pics they sent me were Katy, Cindy and Jake.
"""Hi Dear
I am so impressed with your inquiry about adopting my babies.. i have
been looking for a home for them for a while now but not only a home
but a forever home for them.. firstly let me tell you about them. Am
having one male and two females.Jake is the male while Katy and Cindy
are the females... they are all registered with the following animal
registration club that is Akc and are veterinary checked and
vaccinated and have all health records till date and housing documents
. I am not out to sell them, all i want is to give them out to a home
or family that is able to spoil them with the love and care that they
deserve,so all i need of you is to assure me you will take good care
of them because i don't want to give you my puppies) out and discover
they are not handled with care.These puppies were owned by my late
grand Mum. So when she died i was sent here in Cameroon for a research
project which is going to last for 3 years. I came with them here in
Cameroon but the bad climatic condition here and also the nature of my
job does not permit me to take good care of them. That’s why am trying
to send them back to their home land in USA to a loving home where
they will be spoiled with all their needs and treated with love.So you
just need to assure me you will take good care of my puppies.please
before we proceed i will like to ask you some questions if you don't
mind? Are you a breeder? Do you have kids? Do you have a vet around
your location? What will be your reaction if in case they destroy some
thing worth 100$? Sorry for all the questions alright,I just wanna
make sure that my babies have a good and caring home were ever they
may be. I will give each of them to you for $140 each Okay, since you
will only pay for the change of ownership document bearing your full
names address and you will the dog home. my husband and i will be
responsible for the shipping fee so you got nothing to worry about
Okay, All we are asking you to pay is $140 for the change of ownership
papers from my names to yours alright, this means that you are new
owner of the dog and you will have your dog delivered to your home
Okay. Like i said earlier you don't have to worry about the
transportation fee because it's our responsibility to pay for the
shipping fee Okay.

flight Jhb to Springbok
there are no scheduled flight to Springbok, you will have to fly to Cape Town and hire a car, or you have to charter a plane. Springbok is only a small town with a small airport.
drug test before boarding plane
I have a friend that has a flight booked and was told there is a drug test that cost $170.00 before my friend can board the plane why is that?

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.

Reply to @ptomblin:
I wrote the senior manager for aerodromes and facilities in South Africa and he says "Olifants is not a licensed aerodrome therefore I cannot confirm their locator". So there is no ICAO ident for this airport. Now what?

Fuel Availability
Good day, I am struggling to find a contact number for this airfield. I urgently need to know if there is Avgas as well as JetA1 available at this airfield? Please assist me?
Bta
I dont understand why there have to be a certain amount to have to get toa flight. People are not getting on flights because they don't have 1850. Alot of people have lost their jobs. They are hungry and all the money they have is what is on them. As long as they have a flight they should be able to fly.
Airport was clean and spacious with courtious and helpful st
Unfortunately, one of our cases had been opened en route to the aircraft after check in. This was noticed on arrival at Gatwick. On unpacking our cases, we discovered that souvenire maps and Valley of the Kings Booklet and Valley of the Queens booklet and dynesty information and map of the Nile had been removed from our case. No other item in the case was taken. As these were of great sentimental value and reminder of our trips, we were very disappointed that these items were taken from our case as they had been intended for our children.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @ptomblin: From what I've been told Olifants never had an ICAO ident. FAOR was used for a now decommissioned airport. So I don't know what we can now use for Olifants.
West Minister Airport Security Lungi
I find the $24 charge very wrong, the Security was improving at the Airport last year and was starting to work, Now I have just returned I find this arrogance from the White managers and see the locals going back to the old days, I feel ashamed when I come back to my Sierra Leone.That why we elected the President.
Frequency
Asossa has a ground frequency for the apron that the UN uses as a normal ground to air frequency when they arrive and depart.
It is unmanned and should be called upon on 125,9 as for all unmanned airports in Ethiopia.

re: Tea cup poms named Chloe & Leo.
Hello this just recently happened to me about a week ago. After I lost about 2,500 I stopped paying them. They kept calling but I didn't answer my phone. kristal kept texting me from an unknown number asking that I should pay for the rest and I stopped. Did they threaten to sue you too?
My Point of view on Bangboka Airport
This airport could be good if DRC could ensure the Bushes at arround the runway are cut down. Since aproach is always a problem mainly when visibility if low. This makes difficult approach to crew in terms of the hight of trees and bamboos...

General staff very help full. Unfriendly immigration officers. Bring small change. Landing fees a bit heavy. Jet A1 always available, Avgas 99% of the time.
