TACV HS-748

Praia, Santiago Is., Cabo Verde view map

Sal/Praia/Sal.
One of my biggest fears, to fly a propeler plane like this!
But, in fact, it was not so bad, in spite of the noise and the vibration from the engines!
And the Pilots had always the cockpit doors opened, and again, I could meet most of them and even film some landings. In fact, they were quite old and experienced gentlemen, and it was a delight to fly with them!
Later on, on another visit over 1 year after, to show the finished film to the Prime Minister and the National Assembly, we had a very turbulent flight, but even then, it was quite funny! I visited the Captain and he complained to me... LOL
And one of the old female passengers, with a crying voice, pulled the Stewardess skirt as asked her: "Please tell the Pilot to go slower"... LOL
Well, but not this 1st time! I was really happy...
By the way, landing was in the old airport, no longer there! I never ever used the new one...
