Taken on the SAFAIR ramp, this 1974 built Hercules has just been bought from Sao Tome based Transafrik when pictured in April 2005. SAFAIR has been one of the biggest civilian L-100 operators and put it's Her'sk to work where ever this rugged plane was needed. Hence, SAFAIR Herks wore many different liveries, but probably most "all white with UN titles" to battle crisis in Africa. This one started as ZS-RSF (with Safair), then to NWT in Canada as C-FNWF and back to ZS-RSF. Next to Southern Air Transport as N904SJ, then to S9-CAI in 1997, before returning to ZS-RSF again sometimes in 2005.
