Another kind of bird.
The landing strip at Olifants River Game Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

That looks like one very, very tricky runway... Has a windsock but that is about it. Kudos to the pilots there.

Can't be many places where the pilots occasionally have to pull back up on landing... due to elephants on the runway.

Yes, and on the roadways... chasing vehicles (this one's a curious young male cantering after our Land Cruiser).

DA* 60-250 (SR definitely on and working well).

No match for a Toyota... unless of course he catches you.
