me again ..we really should find the airport in the pics below
And
apskip's nice flight data got lost in the Mat excitement...
ADDITIONAL FLIGHT INFO
Due to the statement that "it took one hour" to get from Zanzibar by boat (obviously the hydrofoil) back to Dar-es-Salaam, some additional flight info is appropriate. Here it is:
Flights DAR to NBO
KQ 487 0525 to 0640 Monday only(the day C/M and O/D could possibly use it)
PW4481 0915 to 1030
KL4145 1010 to 1125 Monday only(the day D/K and U/J) could possibly use it)
PW4483 1515 to 1630
PW4495 1630 to 1850
PW0725 1800 to 2030 Monday only
LX0293 2220 to 2335 Monday/Wed./Fri.
A Nonstop Flight from DAR to AMSTERDAM KL569 departs DAR 2350 arrives AMS 0715 (note: this might help E/D and J/B get back even with D/K and U/J)
connecting with KL1363 departing AMS 0925 arriving WAW 1125.
So which airport matches the pictures?
Options:
Zanzibar (highly doubtful because it is just as easy to take the hydrofoil/catamaran! to Dar es Salaam) --but you know me--I've got pics if we need them!
Dar es Salaam :This gets tricky--remember the Hajj is still on and it will be very difficult to arrange flights for the teams Dar to Nairobi (which is the best option for flights to Warsaw per apskip).
So here is my take on that--we know the teams were meant to be somewhere else for the real Pitstop--possibly Arusha. I think we have no chance of ever seeing whatever tasks were to be done there originally, but I wonder if TPTB had arranged for ongoing transport from there to Nairobi (Car, truck, charter flight, camel--whatever) and since flights out of Dar to Nairobi will be a nightmare--maybe they will still send them to Arusha (?) to take the original transportation on to Nairobi.
So that leaves Dar and Arusha as airport possibilities and I have many non-matching photos (let me know if you want to be PEACHHH'd!)
But Nairobi? It is a match! And fits with the critical need for the Guido's to get on a decent flight.
And just for completeness--I'm in and out of Schipol (Amsterdam) all the time and that doesn't look like a match to me...
