Trade 64 | Kampala Executive Aviation

Occasionally you happen upon those people who cottoned on to what they loved as a kid and pursued it right through to adulthood and a livelihood. For Charlie, partner of Lizzie (trade 63), it had been a love of aircraft that he had pursued through from working in the local maintenance hangar as a kid to now piloting small aircraft around the skies of Uganda. So on my final day in Uganda I traded some shots of the Kampala Executive Aviation airfield and aircraft for a few barrel rolls with Charlie in their two-seater biplane. One of the more extraordinary ways I have viewed a country.
