Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Here is relief food aid cargo flight in 1980s from HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport 9 miles southeast of central business district of Nairobi the capital of and largest city in Kenya to HCMM Aden Adde International Airport formerly known as Mogadishu International Airport serving Mogadishu the capital of Somalia.

Finished heavily loaded with food aid



Check out cool tail and you can see one of aid workers waving in a cargo window



Need somebody to check my engines to be sure everything is ok



Bol the famous basketball player checking my engines as he always did for all cargo planes on relief flights to Somalia and Sudan. Heck he did not need ladder to check engine oil:)



Being pushbacked by airport tug



Now taxiing to short of runway 24





Entering into runway 24 for more taxiing and then backtracking



Backtracking at the beginning of runway 24

Very nice series of screenshots! Those first few look like a lot of action due to the thunderstorm.

Great story, love the "oil checker".

Wow, wow, wow, Aharon. You surely must be the Spielberg oi screenshots. Love that lightning. What weather engine were you using? And is that an Aerosim DC-8F?

 

Jomo Kenyatta, my old hometown airport which was in my day called Embakasi International. Sad to see what's transpired there the last few days. Nairobi, I meant.

Great pictures and great historic topic!

Thanks all for very kind words!!

 

It is much appreciated!!!  I always enjoy making screenshots to share my flight progress with the rest of the world!!

 

 

What weather engine were you using? And is that an Aerosim DC-8F?

 

The plane is good old fashioned freeware from Historic Jet Group website and I am using FSX default weather.  The lightings were edited and added from editing software.
