Good One,

Last week has a not memorable flight too. Boarded a flight at JKIA for my usual destination( name withheld). Being an ardent wazua, had on this particular date choosen the cheapest flight ( a cool 25k between my flight and the popular flight- the one that make money for everyone except shareholders, in wazua lingo). After one hour, the pilot made announcement there was an in indication of some instruments malfunction. Two minutes later, he announces we were turning back to Nbi for the instruments to be checked. Another thirty minutes later he announces one engine had failed and we were not running on one engine. Sema kustuka. The cabin went quite and everyone just kept cool. Shortly thereafter, he announce we had commenced descent to JKIA, but believe me we were somewhere in Mt Elgon. We flew very low and thank God we finally reached Nbi. It was my longest flight ever. Half the passengers boycotted the flight the following day but was courageous enough to re-board, but a different plane. Kumbe engine mbili ni muhimu?

WOW! I look forward to that experience - 240km/h waa, wacha investments zangu ziive - I will fly one day.
lakini nasikia it can be bumpy huko juu, is it true.

Congrats, Was surprised by Jumbo, sodas on sale for Kshs 200.00! Me was last year, when descending my matumbo and stomach split into two waaa!!! that ka feeling!!! I had to have faith. As for taking off .. mmmmm comes second to "landing" way way wonderful

Do those Propellers to TZ still operate? I think those are the worst I have ever taken

Would like a flight expert to explain why planes take off like they do.

It gets on the run way as it positions itself for take off. Then takes off with speed and just when you think its about to ascend it comes to an abrupt stop!
And the engine starts running again.
In less than 5min it runs like mad before taking off like a jet.
Its the most tense moment esp if your your seat is located near the wings.
So is the first phase a warm up ya engine?

Then someone tell me how an oversized person can fit on that slender plane to Arusha- Forgotten its name.

Brother, i also wondered about the same because i paid a visit to the cockpit after we landed at Moi Airport Mombasa, and the captains seat looks so small and tiny, a 6'5'' person weighing 100kgs cant seat there comfortably.

And then that take off thing, its like the plane gets chokozwad because it starts from 0 speed and within 10 seconds you are going at a terrific speed!!!

Boss uko na roho basi, with such malfunctions, i cant dare fly with the company again!
