Hello, friends!

Another question from me, dumb russian bear.

How it's going with general aviation in Somalia?

General aviation means a small planes, servicing by a private pilots and small aviation companies on a local lines (between a cities, towns and villages). The GA planes and choppers are small, in general they can carry just pilot and up to 5-6 passangers (maximal up to 12) but - it use generic automobile fuel, it's cheap, it can landed almost everywhere where is 300 meters of flat ground. Ticket for general aviation plane costs just a bit higher than a intercity bus ticket. It's a very good transport for a countries with a small population but with a big non-populated wasted lands, such as Canada, Russia... Or Somalia.

So, I want to ask - how it's going with this in your proud country? Is there an already established local airways, or it's an empty field for business? Is a trained pilots presents in your country, or you needs a training centers? Is there an infrastructure (airports, airfields)? Is it safe to fly in Somalia skies?

There are local airliners that fly some old jets. The old Somali Airlines is out of business.

When was the last time you visited Grigori Rasputin's crave mate ?

They flying over a country or on international lines? What's their company name (or maybe you can say their website name)?

Can't understand you, bro. You mean "grave"? There is no grave of this pervert. Firstly because he isn't a hero of russians, and also because he wasn't entombed at all - he was drowned at river Neva.
