So, the aircraft was repaired this morning, so I set off to Olifantwater (finally met Ralph, Christian, Ecki), and further on to FYKT (Keetmanshoop, Namibia) - time was getting tight.
Climbing out of FYWE (Windhoek Eros, Namibia) and circling SE of the field to gain altitude - there's a ridge around the southern half of Windhoek.

Flying over the ridge south of Windhoek.

Ecki, Ralph, Christian, and Springbockbraten - the gazelle was shot on the farm, and prepared by Ecki and Christian.
