Two hundred and ninetieth chapters fly the plane
ps: It’s a new week, please give me monthly votes and recommend votes.
Most of the infrastructure facilities in Africa are not good, and there are almost no decent roads to find, especially in South Sudan, where a flat dirt road is difficult to find, so small aircraft have become the most common means of transportation.
If you fly in most African countries, flight delays are not a problem, and dilapidated planes are not a problem. If you have such a difficult issue as humanized service, you don’t need to consider it.
There are no more regular flights. As for those small planes operating in short distances, let alone, being able to fly and land safely is a successful flight.
Fortunately, Gao Yang had a chartered plane available, and the only passenger was himself, so he didn't have to grab seats with people when he got on the plane. And Colm swore that the pilot he was looking for was definitely the best in Maracal, and the plane was also the best and latest in Maracal.
Gao Yang, who has experienced a plane crash, would really not want to take a small plane if he had any choice, but if he was looking for the Akuri tribe, it was most convenient to find it from the air, so Gao Yang finally chose to take the plane and search it first.
After seeing the plane, Gao Yang felt a little relieved. Although the plane could only sit two people, including the pilot, and it was a plane that could not be as small as it was, it looked very new from the outside. Although the so-called airport only had a dirt track, the runway was still very flat.
It looks quite new to the plane and the runway, Gao Yang feels that he can't force anything anymore. Now the only thing he expects is that the pilot can appear quickly.
Gao Yang looked at his watch and it was already nine o'clock. He shrugged helplessly at Colm and said in a deep voice: "Which pilot? I mean, are you sure he is punctual?"
Colm nodded and said, "It's very timely. We made an appointment at 8 o'clock, and he should be able to show up before 9:30."
Gao Yang has been to Africa, and he is so commonplace about being late. Even if a pilot is in a bad mood, he will not appear today. He will not be too surprised.
Colm was right. At 9:25, a black man walked over from the road, but it took an hour and a half. The pilot was indeed very punctual.
After the pilot, who looked in his forties, waved at Colm, he said nothing, reached out and pulled open the cabin door on one side and got on the plane.
Colm spread his hands, opened the hatch door on the right side of the aircraft nose, and waited for Gao Yang to sit on the right side of the pilot with his shotgun in his arms, and shouted: "Good luck. Call me if you have anything to do."
After Colm closed the hatch, the pilot took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting a cigarette for himself, he casually said in English with a strong accent: "Go where?"
Gao Yang took out the gps, called out the coordinates given to him by Morgan, and pointed at the point, "Here."
Gao Yang was surprised to find that there were GPS on the plane. After the pilot reached out and entered the coordinates of GPS, he immediately started the plane. After yelling at an old man guarding the airport, he drove the plane onto the runway. After experiencing several bumps, Gao Yang realized that he was not wearing a seat belt.
After Gao Yang was busy tying the H-type safety belt, he realized that the pilot did not wear a seat belt, and the plane had already taken off and would not bump any more. However, after hesitating for a while, Gao Yang decided not to untie the seat belt.
The plane is a super small cargo plane, with an empty warehouse at the rear of the cabin, and Gao Yang's seat should be the position of the co-pilot. In front of him is a lot of instruments, and everything is available for operating rudder poles.
After growing up so old, this was the first time Gao Yang sat in the pilot's position. He was a little curious and couldn't help but start looking at the instruments and other things, and began to figure out what those things are for.
While Gao Yang was looking at him curiously, the pilot sitting next to him suddenly said, "I'm curious?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Somewhat curious."
The pilot nodded and said, "Very good, look here, this is the airspeed meter, oh, this is useless, you don't need to look at it, just look at this, level, just keep the level flying, if you find that the height has dropped, pull the joystick backwards, if you find that the height has risen, push the joystick forward, the accelerator is fixed, just keep the altitude and course, look here, gps, you won't be wrong to fly directly along the indicated line, if you go left, push the joystick right, and the other way around, do you understand now?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "I understand."
The pilot pointed his head and said, "Very good, now you take over. I didn't sleep well last night. I got up too early today. I have to take a nap."
"What? No, right? You must be joking, right?"
Looking at Gao Yang who was stunned, the pilot said impatiently: "Who is joking with you? Such a simple thing is just to take care of you for a while. What's the point of joking about this? We need to fly for two and a half hours to get there. After two hours, you'll wake me up."
Gao Yang deeply realized the profound meaning of the abbreviation tia, that is, no matter how incredible things you think, it is best to learn to adapt here, and don’t make yourself look like that idiot.
If it was something else, Gao Yang would obey, but it was related to his own life. Gao Yang decided to fight to the end. He immediately said firmly: "No, no, you can drive the plane, I will pay you, so you'd better do your duty. Fake, I haven't touched these things at all. Are you not afraid that both of us will die? Fight now, you can drive your plane well!"
After the request was rejected, the pilot looked depressed, but Gao Yang's attitude was very tough. The pilot finally chose to give up and just muttered, "What's there to be afraid of? You guys are just timid. Forget it, I'll drive it myself."
Gao Yang was a little angry because he was very dissatisfied with the pilot's careless attitude. He asked him to control the plane, which was simply a disregard for his life. However, watching the pilot holding the joystick without moving, he felt that it seemed very simple to fly the plane.
After watching for a while, Gao Yang, who had just rejected the pilot, was finally shaken. He said with a serious look on his face: "Actually, it's not impossible to let me control the plane, but you can't sleep. You have to look at me. If you agree, I can control the plane for you."
