Luanda was a quick stop for fuel and boarding. On to Gatwick!!
The flights were quiet and with no issues. It was hard to say "Springbok" when my mind continually slipped back to the standard call. After a few fumbles and a couple of "Say Again's" I finally had it down. Came into Gatwick just as the sun was peaking over the horizon. A buddy of mine was taking some shots and gave them to me as a gift. It's great to have such friends in the community. I did take a quick pic for mom as we were taxing to the gate. I hope she is happy...

After completing the shut down checklist and doing the rest of the paperwork, my phone goes off. I'll bet it's mom again. Sometime she drives me crazy. Oh no, not mom but the boss. "Hi boss, how are ya?", "Really....Again huh", "Who this time?", "Yes, I still have some hours available".
"WHERE??", "Say hi to Rick for you, who's Rick?, What do you mean "I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship", Boss, I thought we were friends..... you feeling OK boss?". " OK, OK, I'll give you a call when I return tomorrow, remember I am trying to get home! Yea boss, I appreciate it! Thanks"
Wonder who Rick is and what he does in Casablanca, guess I'll just have to ask around when I get there......
