Chapter 304

Most of the infrastructure facilities in Africa are poor, and few decent roads can be found. Especially in South Sudan, it is difficult to find a flat dirt road, so small aircraft have become the most common means of transportation.

When flying in most African countries, flight delay is not a problem, nor is the aircraft dilapidated. There is no difficult problem of humanized service, so it doesn't need to be considered.

Regular flights can't count on too much. As for those small short-distance aircraft, let alone those that can fly up and land safely, it is a successful flight.

Gao Yang is lucky that he has a charter plane available, and the only passenger is himself, so he doesn't have to grab seats with people when getting on the plane. Moreover, Colm vowed that the pilot he is looking for is definitely the best in Malakal, and the plane is also the best and latest one in the whole Malakal.

Gao Yang, who has experienced a plane crash, really doesn't want to take a small plane if he has a choice, but it's most convenient to find the akuri tribe from the air, so Gao Yang finally chose to search by plane first.

After seeing the plane, Gao Yang's mind was a little relieved. Although the plane, including the pilot, can only sit two people. It is a small plane, it does look very new from the appearance. Although the so-called airport has only a dirt runway, the runway is still very flat.

It looks like a new plane and a new runway. Gao Yang thinks he can't force anything more. Now his only hope is that the pilot can appear as soon as possible.

Gao Yang looked at his watch. It was a quarter past nine. 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 punctual. We have an appointment at eight. He should show up before 9:30."

It's not that Gao Yang has never been to Africa. It's common to be late. Even if a pilot is in a bad mood and doesn't show up today, he won't be too surprised.

Colm was right. At nine twenty-five, a black man walked down the road, only delayed for an hour and a half. The pilot was really punctual.

After waving at Colm, the pilot, who looked like he was in his forties, reached out and opened the cabin door on one side and got on the plane.

Colm spread his hand and opened the hatch on the right side of the nose. After Gao Yang sat on the pilot's right with his shotgun, he shouted, "good luck. Call me if you have anything."

After waiting for Colm to close the hatch, the pilot took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit himself a cigarette, and said carelessly in heavily accented English, "where are you going?"

Gao Yang took out his GPS, called up the coordinates Morgan gave him, pointed to the point and said, "here."

Gao Yang was surprised to find that there was GPS on the plane. After the pilot reached out and entered the coordinates with GPS, he immediately started the plane. After yelling with an old man guarding the airport, he steered the plane onto the runway. After several bumps, Gao Yang found that he didn't fasten his seat belt.

After Gaoyang hurriedly fastened the H-type safety belt, he found that the pilot had not fastened the safety belt, and the plane had taken off and would not be bumpy again. However, after hesitation, Gaoyang decided not to untie the safety belt.

The plane is a super small cargo plane, and there is an empty cabin at the rear of the cabin. Gao Yang should sit in the position of the co pilot. In front of him is a lot of instruments, and there are all kinds of things such as operating the rudder stock.

After growing so big, Gao Yang sat in the pilot's position for the first time. He was a little curious. He couldn't help looking at the instruments and other things, and began to wonder what they were for.

When Gao Yang was looking at him curiously, the pilot sitting next to him suddenly said, "very curious?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "I'm curious."

The pilot nodded and said: "Well, look here. This is the airspeed meter. Oh, it's useless. You don't have to look at this. Just look at this. Level. Just keep flying level. If you find that the altitude drops, pull the lever back. If you find that the altitude rises, push the lever forward. The throttle has been fixed. Just look at the altitude and heading. Look here, GPS, follow the indicated line There's nothing wrong with a direct flight. If it's left, push the lever to the right, and vice versa. Now do you understand? "

Gao Yang nodded and said, "I see."

The pilot nodded his head and said, "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? You must be joking, aren't you?"

Looking at the stunned flying, the pilot said impatiently: "who is joking with you? Such a simple thing is just for you to look after for a while. What's the joke? 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, you'd better learn to adapt here, and don't make a fuss to make yourself look like that idiot.

If it's something else, Gao Yang will follow, but it's about his life. Gao Yang decides to fight to the end. He immediately said firmly: "no, no, you can't drive the plane. I'll pay you, so you'd better do your duty. Falk, I haven't touched these games at all. Aren't you afraid that both of us will die? Now 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. He just muttered, "what's to be afraid of? You people are timid. Forget it, I'll drive by myself."

Gao Yang was still a little angry because he was very dissatisfied with the pilot's careless attitude and asked him to control the plane, which was simply a disregard for his life. However, seeing the pilot holding the joystick motionless in boredom made him feel that it was really easy to fly the plane.

After watching for a while, Gao Yang, who had just sternly rejected the pilot, finally wavered. With a serious face, he said, "in fact, it's not impossible for me to operate the plane, but you can't sleep. You have to look at me. If you promise, I can operate the plane for you."

"Hold the joystick. OK, I've let go. Now just fly forward, man."
