Do MAF use the HS-748? I thought they mainly used Caravans, Stationairs and didn't go much bigger than a King Air.
I went to a rather inspiring talk by a future MAF pilot - she'd graduated with a degree in maths from my university, and was now working full-time in an accountancy firm while building up her hours at the weekends. I think nowadays the pilots are required to bring their own CPL licences! But it looks like a rewarding and satisfying job - running around Africa with a Caravan, acting as a force multiplier to the agencies already there. Not financially rewarding though, but if you've got a bed, food and an aeroplane then what else is there to spend money on?
