Flight 49 : Tamale, Ghana to Banjul, Gambia

Date: Monday January 12, 2009
Departure: 09:50 AM
Routing: West-Northwest across Southern Mali and Guinea
Aircraft: Air Catalonia Q-400
Altitude: 24,000 feet
Miles: 1,072
Arrival Stats: 3.7 hours is nearly 290 mph!
Notes: Flat, Tan, Open Desert ... Okay, so the first 2.5 hours was really pretty dull (other than a surprising number of little no-name airstrips scattered about the desert). Then I started seeing little tributaries of the river Gambia and that was much more to my eye's liking.
