What are the chances of us grouping together and sneeking out a VC10, fueling it up and flying out to get him?

Les can fly it
I'd have enjoyed that

Charter DC9 from Gialo to Trip, then charter from Trip to Madrid. Then Madrid to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to LHR, LHR to MAN.

5 flights, I'm tired!

DC9 was rammed, 100 seats all full, had about 60 odd Koreans and several other rock up hoping for spaces but we filled it up with our allocation (us and another company).

Everyone was tense. The security kept a parked up Kenworth on Gialo runway to stop mercenaries landing. I think they had a machine gun in the tree line trained on the DC9 when it landed in case it was a trick and mercs got off, then they would shoot it up.

I got to Trip airport and it was crazy with people fainting and getting smacked by poilce with sticks (not us though). Was really busy and you could see mountains of detritus stacked up outside from the masses who had come though the last week or so, really an eyesore and nasty. We were waiting in domestic a while but were wisked right through passport/customs thanks to my companies sway and - I guess bribes - straight onto our charter to Madrid. Right though like VIP's.
