--- Quote from: apskip on November 13, 2007, 02:28:34 PM ---Concern has been expressed by Peach to me by PM about the rainy season in Burkina Faso and whether road trips from Ouagadougou to somewhere in the southeast and on to Niamey Niger would be feasible. I have found data on the rainy season(June to September, which is certainly when the Amazing Race is there) for the south of Burkina Faso. Total annual rainfall concentrated in those 4 months is 40 inches (about what we get in the new York metropolitan area in a year. The average per day is 0.33 inches. As long as they don't get 5 inches all at once, it may not be a problem. If it were, then an option is for World Race Productions to have teams return back to Ouagadougou and take charter flights the 300 miles from there to Niamey.

Has it been confirmed the teams travel to Niger? (i thought i searched all threads & must have missed it.)
If not, what would prevent them from taking a charter from Ouagadougou to Timbuktu (mainly because i want them to)? :snakes:
....& then after tasks in Timbuktu, they fly on to Europe (Florence).
Plus a charter flight (anywhere) would avoid the dangers or mud/flooding mentioned elsewhere.

And, Apskip, you need to check your timeline because we have that teams arrive in Dubrovnik on July 19th. Not on July 18th as you have indicated.

Not quite, CHATEAU. Here is segment 6 from my latest timeline, post #22 on the SPECULATIVE TIMESLINES thread:
6. 18 FLR to FRA LH4067 0715 0855
FRA to DBV LH2468 1210 1355
Note: there is one later nonstop FLR to FRA LH4059 1010 1140, but the connection goes FRA ZAG, then ZAG DBV and arrives DBV 1635
Let me draw your attention to the "18" above which is the day in July.
No, Airwise does not say that AF732 flew on July 13. Unfortunately right now it is not saying that AF730 flew on July 13 either. I think an important input is the Air France schedules. Those schedules for July of 2008 suggest that AF732 may be the right choice, as it will be flying on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. AF730 will be flying on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. There are no flights on Thursdays. My recollection of what Airwise did say in the August 2007 timeframe about July 13, 2007 is captured in the original posts that precede the Speculative Timelines thread and that clearly stated only
AF730. My conclusion is that it could be either flight.

Common CBS! I need more hints so I can get a good score this week =/

I'm going with the missionaries. They were letting their families back home know that they arrived safely and I'm going to trust that they know when they arrived. But if there is a later flight as well, that will be interesting if the teams aren't as bunched up! And somewhere in the missionaries blog they do talk about a stop before Ouagadougou as well.

these will do for now --
