Hmmm ... best advice I can think of is ...

1) Fly only at night
2) Keep all external lighting OFF
3) Dont go anywhere near Angola
4) Take plenty of money for bribes but dont pay too much, if you
do theyll think you have more money and rob you
5) Arrange your fuel stops very carefully, its amazing how fuel
suddenly becomes "not available"

Some folks down there thing nothing of taking pot shots at light a/c
just for the hell of it, and even an old .303 has a killing range of a
mile.

Have fun,

Regards
