A Mercenary’s War

ps: It's a new week. Ask for monthly tickets and ask for recommendation tickets.

Most infrastructure facilities in Africa are not good, and few decent roads can be found. Especially in South Sudan, a flat dirt road is difficult to find, so small aircraft have become the most common means of transportation.

When flying by plane in most African countries, flight delays are not a problem, and worn-out aircraft is not a problem. If there is such a difficult problem of humanized service, then you do n’t need to consider it.

Regular flights cannot be expected to be too much, let alone those small aircraft operating on short distances, not to mention, being able to fly and land safely is a successful flight.

Gao Yang was lucky that he had a charter flight available, and the only passenger was himself, so he did n’t have to grab a seat when he was on the plane, and Colm vowed that the pilot he was looking for was definitely the best in Malakal The aircraft is also the best and newest in Malakal.

I have gone through a plane crash. If there are some choices, I really do n’t want to take a small plane anymore, but it is the most convenient to find from the air when looking for the Akuri tribe, so Gao Yang finally chose to search by plane first. .

After seeing the plane, Gao Yang's mentality was slightly lowered. Although the plane could only seat two people including the pilot, it was a plane that was too small to be small, but it did look new from the outside, although the so-called The airport has only one dirt runway, but the runway is still very smooth.

It looks like a new plane, it looks like a new runway, Gao Yang feels that he can't force anything more, and now the only thing he expects is that the pilot can appear quickly.

Gao Yang looked at his watch. It was nine o'clock. He shrugged helplessly at Colm. Shen said: "Which pilot. I mean, are you sure he is punctual?"

Colm nodded and said, "It's punctual. We made an appointment at eight. He should be able to show up before nine thirty."

It's not that Gao Yang hasn't been to Africa. It's quite common for him to be late. Even if a pilot is in a bad mood, he doesn't show up today. He would not be too surprised.

Colm was right. At 9:25, a black man Shi Shiran slipped across the road, only an hour and a half delayed. The pilot was indeed punctual.

The pilot in his forties, who waved at Colm, did not say hello, reached for the plane and opened the cabin door on the side.

Colm spread his hand and opened the door on the right side of the nose. After Gao Yang held his shotgun to the pilot's right side, he shouted: "Good luck. Something is calling me."

After waiting for Colm to close the hatch, the pilot pulled a box of cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting himself a cigarette, he said casually in English with a strong accent: "Go there?"

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

Gao Yang was surprised to find that there was GPS on the plane. The pilot reached out and entered the coordinates of the GPS, then launched the plane, shouted with an old man guarding the airport, and steered the plane to the runway. After the second bump, Gao Yang discovered that he was not wearing a seat belt.

After Gao Yang hurriedly put the h-type seat belt on, he found that the pilot did not wear a seat belt, and the aircraft had already taken off at this time, it would not bump again, but after hesitating again and again, Gao Yang decided not to unlock the safety Brought.

The plane is an ultra-small cargo plane. The rear of the cabin is an empty cabin, and the position where Gao Yang sits should be the position of the co-pilot. There are a lot of instruments in front of him, and things like operating the rudder stock are also available.

After growing so big, Gao Yang was still sitting in the pilot's position for the first time. Somewhat curious, he couldn't help but look at the instruments and the like, and began to figure out what they were for.

While looking up with curiosity, the pilot sitting next to him suddenly said, "I'm curious?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "A little curious."

The pilot nodded and said, "Very well, look here, this is the airspeed indicator, oh, this is useless, you don't need to look at it, just look at this, level, just keep level flying, if you find that the altitude drops, Just pull the joystick back, if you find that the altitude has risen, push the joystick forward, the throttle is fixed, as long as you take care of the altitude and heading, look here, gps, follow the indicated route directly and there will be no mistakes , If you move to the left, push the joystick to the right, and vice versa, now do you understand? "

Gao Yang nodded and said, "I see."

The pilot turned his head a little and said, "Very well, now you come to take over. I didn't sleep well last night. I got up too early today and I have to take a nap."

"What? No? You must be kidding, right?"

Looking at the stunned air, the pilot said impatiently: "Who is joking with you, such a simple thing, just let you look after for a while, what's so funny? We need to fly for two and a half hours After hours, just wake me up. "

Gao Yang deeply realized the profound meaning of this abbreviation, that is, no matter how incredible things you think, it is best to learn to adapt here, and don't make a fuss about making yourself look that idiot.

If it's something else ~ www.readwn.com ~ Gao Yang will follow, but it's about his own life, Gao Yang decides to fight the end, he immediately said firmly: "No, no, you will fly, I will pay you It ’s money, so you ’d better do your duty, Fack, I have n’t touched these things at all. Are you afraid that both of us will die? Now give me a good flight! "

After the request was rejected, the pilot's face was depressed, but the high-handed attitude was very tough. The pilot finally chose to give up, just mumbled: "What's so afraid of you? Those of you are timid, forget it, I'll drive it myself. "

Gao Yang was still a little angry, because he was very dissatisfied with the pilot's careless attitude, and let him control the plane, which was basically a disregard for his life, but watching the pilot holding the joystick motionlessly made him feel open. The plane seems really simple.

After watching it for a while, Gao Yang, who had just sternly rejected the pilot, was finally shaken. He said seriously: "Actually let me control the plane, but you can't sleep, you have to look at me. If you If you agree, then I can control the plane for you. "

"Hold the joystick, okay, I have let go, now just fly forward, man." (To be continued ...)
