  • Sister City Flights - week 20 - Pretoria (South Africa) - Jackals and Jacarandas!



    Bring your Cargo Prop*, King Air, Vision Jet, or anything else that can sustain 200 knots indicated at 8,000 feet (230 kts TAS)**. We're travelling from Kruger National Park, over the Great Escarpment, and into the Bushveld.

    * Since Lazer won't be running his normal cargo prop flight on Thanksgiving Thursday.
    ** Flight lead will probably fly a Dash 7.


    Pretoria became a sister city of Taipei, last week's sister city, in 1983.
