I've finally managed to catch up with my assigned flights, this month saw me head to Africa to fly TL9400 and 9401 around Lake Victoria.
Starting point was Entebbe (HUEN) in Uganda..

Given the Russian hardware on the apron there was only one choice for me for these flights, the new TAL An-12 "Cub"

First stop Bukoba (HTBU) in Tanzania, a short dirt strip but well within the capability of the An-12

Later in the evening, I returned via Kisumu (HKKI) in Kenya to Entebbe. A gentle night flight and good VMC all the way, though some thunderstorms were visible away to the North of Lake Victoria..
