Hi all!
Right, a little surprise. I thought it would be good to give you chapter 8 along with chapter 7, as the two chapters flow into one another.
Here is chapter 8 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
Summer is now in full force here. Hot and humid during the day and from about three or four in the afternoon thunderstorms move in.
Thank you for all your emails and comments. It is great reading it and those of you that told me snippets of your own aviation life – I love it, and can relate to it.
Yes, I know there is a few mails I’ve not replied to yet, but soon I will.
I am also busy with reviewing the writings of another author as well as an essay from a reader in Australia. I must have replied to that essay a while ago, but yeah... life is throwing curve balls and time is short!
Here is chapter 7 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!

Hi all!
It seems like the days are getting hotter. Also, the thunderstorms are getting over the Magalies Mountain Range and thus the need to water the garden has now slipped a bit.
A taste of what is in store in chapter 6:
The arrival of the EMB A-29 Super Tucano at Goma international are watched by Dolf and Nisreen. Dolf tells Nisreen the meaning of the name “Tucano” and she finds it very funny.

Hi all!
A taste of what is in store in chapter 5:
The oppressive heat and ever-present threat of the Congolese jungle loom large as Dolf and Nisreen prepare for the return flight to Goma in the Otter. Against a backdrop of buzzing engines and the looming presence of hostile forces, Dolf makes a surprising decision: he hands over the controls to Nisreen, trusting her latent skills for the first time. She is in anyway certified on the DHC-6 twin Otter.
This leap of faith, solidified by shared glances and a new-found partnership, tests their burgeoning connection as they navigate treacherous terrain and the ever-present danger of the unknown.
Soon after, the sky turns violent. A relentless thunderstorm forces them into a world of instruments and uncertainty, a stark contrast to the visual cues they rely on. As Dolf guides them through the storm's fury, Nisreen faces her own internal battle, wrestling with the limits of her inexperience in flying in the Congo.
The chapter culminates in a harrowing landing in Goma, where a critical situation unfolds, forcing Dolf and Nisreen to confront the harsh realities of their environment and make life-altering decisions that will forever alter their paths.
Here is chapter 5 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!

Hi all!
This week went by in a fog of speed. To much to do with so little time to do it. But here we are again for the Monday posting of Rosa Rio chapter 4.
I had some emails from you guys and girls. Thank you for your emails and comments. Also, thank you for the great links to the C-17 videos. I try to answer each and every email, but sometimes it takes a while before I can respond. Please, I will get back to you.
The voting seems to go good with over 74% of votes going to the 8, 9, and 10 votes and the 10 votes seems to lead by a landslide. Thank you for that confidence and support.
Then there is my friend waiting in Seattle for his flight to Tennessee. I hope the delay is not too long. By the time you read this post you'll be back home. AND I am still waiting for your list of guesses how the story will play out. LOL!!!
Here is chapter 4 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
