PILOT'S CORNER

If you book 16 flights, it might be smart to check their always differing take off hours. I thought. Of course, if you lose track of what you are doing it can happen that in the end you throw away essential documents. And when you arrive at the airport you will have to be a good talker to arrive where you want to. Hence everything went fine. Arriving at Fortaleza in North Brazil we spot a group of Swiss pilots. Everything what happened afterwards was only thanks to them. They noticed we are totally lost and don’t have a clue what comes next. They took care of us and so after 3 flights and 3 hours of wild bus derby we arrived at Quixada.
