Thanx...that was taken from the "arrival and departures" desks I described below. Behind the white chairs is the "baggage room" and to the right of that the vending machines with "CocaLite", cold and plentiful. All and all a pleasant place.
It is a pity that we cannot post photos on this part of the blog for there is no way else to show how quaint this airport is. Arusha has over 1 Million people served only by three or four regional airlines plus safari charters. Two small three sided shacks only large enough for a small table and chair were connected by a wooden arch. They were labelled "Arrivals" on one side and "Departures" on the other. Airport "workers" were engaged in a billiards tournament at the open air bar, grill and newsstand under the thatched building next to the terminal between flights.
Lovely folks who could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately the last time I was there, the end 1500 feet were dug up and only the Grand Caravans were operating with everyone else moving to JRO about 30 miles to the East. Obviously they have finished that work, but unfortunately the video did not show any of the "terminal area".

Love the people of Tanzania. I flew in via JRO so did not visit the Arusha airport but spent a little time in Arusha. Interesting place.
Nothing that southwest cant do lol.
Another few feet shorter and he would not have made it.. Doing that fully loaded.. Crazy... those pilots would be looking for new jobs here in the states...
