Just a couple of notes for you to consider.

1)as I have already proven it is very likely that The Obama's would have flown by jet to and from Nairobi.

I have established that as a historical fact.

Now here is the fun fact the Jet aircraft of today fly no faster than the jet aircraft available in the 1960's.all are sub-sonic.

2)Obama's father was not part of the CHARTERED flights to the US. That too is an established fact.

This is important because he would have flown on the scheduled airline flights (Jets) instead of the East African Airways Corporation (EAAC) chartered (from BOAC) Bristol Britannia.

Apparently he was more than just your average student and the future Kenyan Government could afford his tickets.

No. All you have proven is that they COULD have. It's still unlikely that they WOULD have.

In 1961, most flights in that part of the world were still by prop plane. Most definitely, if you paid economy, you did not fly jet. And the fact is, they couldn't even afford the economy fare, let alone the jet fare.

Sure. He was flying on someone else's dime, so he could afford the scheduled flights. So?
