By no layovers do you mean a non-stop flight?
If so, then you are looking at chartering a big plane, something like a 777. A search for chartering a 777 cost came up with a price of about $30K per hour so a 15 hour flight would cost $450K.
If you had it booked with 350 passengers each would be paying about $1300 each way.

When I worked in Angola, I flew on the "Houston Express", a dedicated non-stop charter flight from Houston to Luanda. It was originally on a World Airways MD-11 and later a Atlas Air 747. I flew this roughly every 28 days for 5-1/2 years.

A charter flight for oil workers between Houston, Texas, and Luanda, Angola was probably the most fabled Jumbo Jet route. We grabbed a seat on the very last one, and it was an amazing AvGeek treat.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
