We used Fireblade Aviation for transfers in a PC-12 from Johannesburg, to Namibia, to Botswana, and back to South Africa, and it was a 5-star experience. We cannot say enough good things about this company. Their FBO in Johannesburg is absolutely beautiful and the staff is amazing, accommodating and friendly. They made the entire process seamless, punctual and incredibly easy. We even got a quick workout in while waiting for our charter followed by some wine which we loved. The PC-12 they used was a great aircraft. Well maintained, clean and lovely snacks and soft drinks provided for the flight. We have to give a special shoutout to our captain who flew each leg, Jaco (I hope I spelled that correctly). He flew the WHEELs off of that plane and greased it in every time. If you hadn't told me we had landed, I wouldn't have known, he was that good. The entire crew we had was great and Fireblade does operate with a two-man crew. Really the best way to travel, we saved so much time during each transfer and arrived refreshed. Thank you for a great experience and making our safari travels so memorable Fireblade Aviation!
