Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Cessna 172 Supporting Wildlife In The African Bush

This fellow reached out to me a few months ago with a cool story to tell about his flying in Africa. Jaime Dias, originally from Portugal, flies an N-numbered 172 in Africa to monitor wildlife populations for his organization Wings For Conservation.

Living the dream!! Excellent article.
I've only been lucky enough to have ventured to Africa once, Zimbabwe actually. Absolutely love Africa and wish to one day go again.
