Chasing Africa's Last 737-200

Welcome to part 3 of the Africa Adventure series in which Gabriel Leigh finds himself in Harare, Zimbabwe having to work a little harder than expected to track down Air Zimbabwe’s 737-200, one of the last passenger -200s in the world. Though he has a flight on it booked to Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, the President of Zimbabwe has other plans, and it’s a down-to-the-wire scramble to try and catch the plane. Will Gabriel succeed? Or will he end up on the ERJ-145 to Victoria Falls like so many before him? Watch to find out.
