9Q-CCW (cn 263) A few seconds before touchdown.. Underneath the Casa a typical African scene. All the houses are empty, because the whole village has gone out to the strip to welcome the plane. |

9Q-CCW (cn 263) Since Walikale is nothing more than a road without a platform, planes have to land, (un)load and leave immediately again, otherwise they block the strip. Here it is clearly visible that Walikale is actually a road. When there is no plane on the strip regular car traffic uses the road. |

9Q-CCW (cn 263) This is why flying in Congo has so much attraction to pilots: right after take off from Shabunda (FZMW), the pilot banks the empty CASA to the right, to make a low pass over the river nearby. |

9Q-CAZ (cn 790205) The airstrip at Butembo is located at the top of a hill. This LET has to go 'down hill', to the end of the strip to make sure it uses the full available length. CAS operates two Turbolets that fly mainly in the Kivu provinces. |

N54354 (cn 21986/1580) Fertile Goma produces a lot of crops which also find their way to Kinshasa by air. Crews use the open space of Lake Kivu to gain height, and therefore planes departing Goma sometimes have a low rate of climb when leaving the airport's runway -5,000 ft from the lake. |

9Q-CCW (cn 263) The airstrip at Walikale is actually a road with a nice bend in it. This location is mainly visited by L410s, but also by this CASA 212 of Kivu Air. The airline operates from GOM and is frequently contracted by humanitarian NGO's that work in the Kivu provinces. |
