Geeram,
if you were aged between 30-70, Male and involved in aviation and had dreamed of a Frightning flight for years, yes perhaps you might have an idea as you approached CPT airport!
Or (as you can see that the people in the video are our US cousins) could simply be on holiday in Cape Town and the 'Mother' could think she was off to Durban as she arrived at CPT airport?
However the most obvious point is... She is a 50 year old woman!
So I think my original point about NOT knowing you were going to take a trip
is valid!
Well I was going by what you wrote.....which did say, knew about a flight in a Lightning, but not where.......

Which still seems odd, as it must have been clear exactly where.....whereas instead I could have understood if you had wrote 'not realise the implications of exactly what IN.....

As I recall, in t'good old days, didn't females initiated into the 'Ten Ton Club' get some sort of certificate or something.........can't have been many of them around....?
