.. . Speaking of SAA, it seems that S. African president Jacob Zuma considers flying on SA's flagship airline as being beneath his "dignity". He'd rather spend R600 million ($51 million) on a Boeing Business Jet to fly him around: http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/w...6#.VSMBUPnF-rE "Johannesburg - A storm is brewing over the acquisition of new VIP jets for President Jacob Zuma and his Cabinet at a cost of R2 billion, just after Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene announced revised spending plans to reduce waste. "Netwerk24 reported that the three new VIP jets - a Boeing Business Jet and two new Falcon 900 Business Jets - were being acquired for 'international commitments' as the president's international obligations have increased dramatically. "However, the money to be spent on the new jets was originally earmarked to buy crucial freight carriers needed for South African troops abroad." http://m.news24.com/news24/SouthAfri...-jets-20150405 |

... Is it just me, or is the kid's toy a DC-8...? Interesting, because according to Wikipedia, SAA didn't operate any DC-8s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...DC-8_operators |
