Chapter 299 - 299 Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven Flying a Plane
299: Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Flying a Plane 299: Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Flying a Plane Infrastructure in Africa is generally poor, and it’s hard to find even a handful of decent roads, especially in South Sudan, where even a smooth dirt road is a rarity.
Thus, small aircraft have become the most common mode of transportation.
In most African countries, if you’re taking a plane, delays aren’t a big deal, nor is the age or condition of the plane.
As for expecting any sort of humanitarian service, you can forget about that altogether.
Regular flights can’t be counted on for much, and as for those small planes that operate on short routes, it’s even less of a concern.
The fact that they can take off and land safely is already a successful flight.
Gao Yang was fortunate to have a chartered plane at his disposal, and he was the only passenger, so there was no need to fight for a seat when boarding.
Moreover, Kolm swore up and down that the pilot he found was the best in Malakal, and the plane was the newest and best one in all of Malakal.
Having already experienced a plane crash, Gao Yang really didn’t want to fly on a small plane again, if he had a choice.
But to
Gao Yang nodded, “I got it.”
The pilot nodded and said, “Good, now you take over.
I didn’t get much sleep last night and got up too early today.
I need to take a nap.”
“What?
No way, you must be joking, right?”
The pilot, looking impatiently at the stunned Gao Yang, said, “Who’s joking with you?
This stuff is simple, just keep an eye on it for a bit.
What’s there to joke about?
We need to fly for two and a half hours to get there.
Just wake me up in two hours, and we’re good.”
Gao Yang deeply understood the profound meaning of the acronym TIA – that no matter how unbelievable things may seem, it was best to learn to adapt here and not react dramatically so as not to look like the fool.
If it were something else, Gao Yang might have let it slide, but concerning his own life, he decided to stand firm and firmly refused, “No, no way.
You’re the one to pilot this plane.
I’m paying you, so you’d better fulfill your duty.
F**k, I’ve never touched any of these things.
Aren’t you afraid we might both end up dead?
Now, pilot this plane properly!”
After being rejected, the pilot looked sullen, but faced with Gao Yang’s vehement attitude, he eventually gave in, just grumbling, “What’s there to be scared of?
You people are always so timid.
Fine, I’ll fly it myself.”
Gao Yang was still somewhat angry since he was very dissatisfied with the pilot’s nonchalant attitude.
Letting him take control of the plane was a blatant disregard for his life.
However, watching the pilot listlessly holding the control stick without moving made him think that flying really seemed quite simple.
After watching for a while, Gao Yang, who had just sternly refused the pilot, finally wavered and said seriously, “Actually, I might be able to steer the plane, but you can’t sleep.
You have to watch me.
If you agree to that, then I can take over the controls from you.”
“Hold the yoke.
Alright, I’ve let go.
Now just keep heading straight, buddy.” (To be continued.
