Gabon Express started operations in 1988 with scheduled jet and prop services to various destinations in Gabon. At the time this program was filmed Gabon Express was the last airline in the world to operate a Caravelle in scheduled passenger service making this dvd a very unique experience.

.

The program also features the Hawker Sidley 748 and you will learn about both types of aircraft as you follow flights to very primitive fields in Africa. At Oyem the Caravelle must engage its reversers before landing due to the short runway!

.

An experience that cannot be missed is the air to air of the Caravelle over the coastline of Gabon, this is certainly one of the highlights of the World Air Routes series!

Very interesting dvd on secondary local central african carrier. Unfortunatly with slightly bitter taste knowing that the airline has shut down operations since a fatal crash occured in june last year! This DVD gives great insight on the daily flight operations on airlines like this! Dangerous yes, but for the aviation enthousiast this great DVD is an absolute must!!!

An interesting look at an aviation operation in Africa. Not to many CEO's are involved in day to day operations as this one is. Nice to see some approaches in to uncontrolled fields that us instrument private pilots can relate to. This is a must for anyone's collection!

I can't stop loving classic aircraft, so this DVD was very interesting. It gave a fascinating insight to aviation in Central Africa. I can't believe some of the footage I have seen, such as when the HS.748 landed on a dirt strip with lots of people standing either side, just metres away! I love it when they take the baggage off the aircraft and dump it in wheelbarrows to take to the terminal, a tiny building - so different to Western countries. I will watch this many a time - many thanks, and keep up the good work!

Of all the films in my collection, this is the most fascinating yet. I liked the steward with his cardboard box, and the luggage handlers with their wheelbarrows. Great stuff! Keep up the good work.
