Impressive.
Another example of training paying off with the short landing on a blocked runway. |
Well done lads, once more the "Truckies" show how it's done. Respect to all, have a great holiday.
Smudge :ok: |
Have some friends out there - many thanks to 99 and BZZ for getting them out. Dreadful situation after so much hope in the creation of South Sudan.

..not forgetting the Rock Apes :D - must be a very delicate situation to be in.

Or the rest of those involved
It’s not just the aircrew but the RAF Regiment who provided protection on the ground, the movers who helped get the passengers on board, the medics and the engineers, all of them have all performed brilliantly and I’m extremely proud of them. |
November 4 I think the well done all on board covered them...
|
Yes Blue Bottle had it covered first time.

BBC News - S Sudan evacuation flight 'fired on' Hope none too serious PZU - Out of Africa (Retired) |
Great effort for the crew who landed on the 20th as well, especially positioning onto short finals, ATC were beyond overloaded, the place was a nightmare. I hope your departure was less eventful.
|
Looks like the picture they've used to head the BBC article is from one of the UK flights given the uniforms.
Hope those on board the the 22s are OK. |
