Hi,
I just returned last week from a 10 day trip to the East Cape flying United through Newark. On the outbound flight the plane from Denver to Newark was over 3 hours late. I barley made the flight from Newark to Joberg but my rifles and baggage did not. I was leaving the next morning to East London and had to file a report with the baggage people in Joberg as well as the folks with Airlink. I had to leave my combinations for the locks on the rifle case and baggage with both as SAPS had to check the rifles into SA. I finally recieved both 3 days later in East London. The scope on 1 rifle was trashed internally (couldn't zero it) and the sling on my other rifle was on upside down as well as shooting 8" high. I don't have any idea what happend in those 3 days but it wasn't good. No problems on the return flight.
