Curious to see how many different countries are represented in this
forum with licensed pilots.
I've been licensed in more than a few but base in the USA. I have
commercial licenses in USA, Canada, Ecuador, South Africa, Swaziland,
Botswana, Egypt, Rhodesia, Mozambique, just to name a few. Most were
due to crop dusting or agricultural operations.

I know of at least 4 Aussies that post occaisionally, including myself.
Rhodesia - now I see where the Ol bit of your nickname comes from :)
( Rhodesia gained independance in about 1980 and changed its name to
Zimbabwe )

I've flown with a lot of oz pilots and to the man they have a funny
weird sense of humor...much like my own. You got it with the age and
Rhodesia. My last visit in 1980 they had just done the final and
official changeover to Zim, zimimmmm , .zzzimmm ....zimbabwe.
God I hated to see it headed down the toilet with Mugabe in charge
with his thieves. Still have a number of friends there who keep me
posted and it only gets worse.
Would have loved to visit and fly in Oz and NZ but things just never
worked out so I have to amuse myself with emails like yours.
Cheers mate
