Zambia Airways Pitch

The Zambia Airways pitch the other year was more than a little personal to me. My old man worked for the national airline as some sort of flight manager, an executive (I think) that made sure your plane had all the stuff it needed to accommodate your custom. 

When he brought my family back to this country, I was 5 years old. The airline would wind down less than two years later as part of a large-scale privatisation process; before it did, I spent the hours after school waiting for my dad to clock out. I'd roam the airport check-in area, eat ridiculous amounts of candy, drink the most delicious tea out of paper-cups, watch all the planes come home. 

I love it over there. I could be seeing someone off, or just scaling ads with one of the media guys for a client, and my skin tingles for all the nostalgia; at the idea that I could be halfway across the world in a few million heartbeats.
