    If this story is true, Flying Officer Amponsah should be sack or dismissed from the service for his unprofessional conduct. He will be a bad Commander in future.

    There was a small puddle on the runway last year. It may have been camel urine. The runway has now been refurbished by North Korean contractors at a cost of 28 million dollars.

    This could be an honest mistake by both parties and there could be a communication gap somewhere. The Airmen, as far as I used to know have certain privileges with the civilian airports - they drive across the tarmacs, get ac ...

    Only in Ghana you will see things this way. In USA you will never see military confronting civilians in anyway. In fact civilians respect the men in uniform more than any profession I have ever seen.
