PS: It's a new week, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket.

Most of Africa's infrastructure is poor, and there are few decent roads to find, especially in South Sudan, where a smooth dirt road is hard to find, so small planes have become the most common means of transportation.

If you take a plane in most countries in Africa, flight delays are not a problem, and the dilapidated planes are not a problem, and there is no need to consider the difficult problem of whether there is a humanized service.

You can't expect too much from regular flights, and as for those small planes that operate for short distances, not to mention, it is a successful flight if they can fly and land safely.

Luckily, he had a charter plane available, and the only passenger was himself, so he didn't have to compete for a seat when he got on the plane, and Colm swore that the pilot he was looking for was definitely the best in Marakal, and the plane was also the best and latest in the whole Marakal.

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

After seeing the plane, Gao Yang's mental calculation was a little lowered, although the plane could only seat two people, including the pilot, it was a small plane, but it did look very new from the outside, although the so-called airport only had a dirt runway, but the runway was still very smooth.

It looked like a new plane, it looked like a new runway, Gao Yang felt that he couldn't force anything more, and now the only thing he hoped for was that the pilot would show up quickly.

Gao Yang looked at his watch, and the time was already a quarter past nine. He shrugged helplessly at Colm. In a deep voice, "Which pilot." I mean, are you sure he's punctual? ”

Colm nodded and said, "It's punctual, we have an appointment at eight, and he should be able to show up before half past nine." ”

It's not that Gao Yang hasn't been to Africa before, and it's really commonplace to be late, even if any pilot is in a bad mood, he simply won't show up today. He wouldn't be too surprised.

Colm was right, at 9:25 a.m., a black man came over from the road, only delayed for an hour and a half, and the pilot was indeed very punctual.

The pilot, who looked to be in his forties, waved at Colm and then reached open the door on one side and got on the plane.

Colm spread his hands, opened the hatch on the right side of the nose, and when Gao Yang sat down on the pilot's right with his shotgun, he said loudly, "Good luck." Something called me. ”

After waiting for Colm to close the hatch, the pilot pulled out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket. After lighting a cigarette for himself, he said casually in English with a thick accent, "Where to go?" ”

Gao Yang took out the GPS, called up the coordinates given to him by Morgan, and pointed to the point: "Here." ”

Gao Yang was surprised to find that there was GPS on the plane, the pilot reached out and entered the coordinates on the GPS, then started the plane, and after yelling a few times with an old man guarding the airport, he controlled the plane to drive onto the runway, and after several bumps, Gao Yang found that he was not wearing a seat belt.

After Gao Yang hurriedly fastened the H-shaped seat belt, he found that the pilot was not wearing a seat belt, and the plane had taken off at this time and would not be bumpy anymore, but after hesitating again and again, Gao Yang decided not to unbuckle the seat belt again.

The plane is an ultra-small cargo plane, and the rear of the cabin is an empty compartment, and the position where Gao Yang is sitting should be the position of the co-pilot, with a large number of instruments in front of him, and things like operating the rudder are also readily available.

After growing so big, it was the first time for Gao Yang to sit in the pilot's position, and he couldn't help but look at those instruments and other things with some curiosity, and began to figure out what those things were for.

When Gao Yang was looking curiously, the pilot sitting next to him suddenly said, "Curious? ”

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

The pilot nodded and said, "Very good, look here, this is the airspeed meter, oh, this is useless, you don't have to look at it, just look at this, the level, just keep flying level, if you find that the altitude has dropped, pull the joystick back, if you find that the altitude has risen, push the joystick forward, the throttle has been fixed, just take care of the altitude and heading, look here, GPS, you will not be wrong to fly straight along the indicated line, if it is left, push the joystick to the right, and vice versa,, Now do you understand? ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Understood." ”

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

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

Looking at Gao Yang, who was stunned, the pilot said impatiently: "Who is kidding you, such a simple thing, just let you take care of it for a while, what's there to joke about?" We need to fly for two and a half hours to get there, and after two hours, you can wake me up. ”

Gao Yang deeply understands the deep meaning of the abbreviation TIA, that is, no matter how incredible you think it is, it is best to learn to adapt here, and not make a fuss about making yourself look like the idiot.

If it was something else, Gao Yang would have obeyed, but it was a matter of his own life, Gao Yang decided to fight to the end, and he immediately said firmly: "No, no, you come to drive the plane, I paid you, so you better do your duty, Fake, I haven't touched these things at all, aren't you afraid that both of us will die?" Now give me a good flight of your plane! ”

After the request was refused, the pilot looked depressed, but Gao Yang's attitude was very tough, and the pilot finally chose to give up, just muttering: "What is there to be afraid of?" You people are just cowardly, 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 asked him to control the plane, which was simply a disregard for his life, but watching the pilot holding the control stick boredly and motionless, he felt that flying the plane seemed to be really simple.

After looking at it for a while, Gao Yang, who had just sternly rejected the pilot, finally wavered, and he said with a serious face: "Actually, it's not impossible for me to control the plane, but you can't sleep, you have to watch me, if you agree, then I can control the plane for you." ”

"Hold the joystick, good thing, I've let go, now just fly forward, man." (To be continued......)
