Telling the remarkable story of the pilots who bring fuel to the remote diamond mines of Angola, Flying Tankers (Tankers en plein ciel) profiles João Amaral. Program describes how Amaral has spent the past 15 years making three daily runs to the mines with 17,000 liters of fuel in a decrepit Boeing 727, often in the gun-sights of various factions in Angolas civil war. Now,with the conflict over and infrastructure being restored, Amaral has exchanged his bullet-proof vest for an airlinepilots uniform.
Sadly, the colourful Gemini tankers are gone for good

It's pity ! Why did they void all the datas from the specch of Juan when he tells us his youth as Angola soldier ? Wars in Africa will cease when no more diamond or gold will remain ...or unless some white peoples should be forbidden of Africa . I think to some bankers , such as Rothschild or Openheimer ..Only these two blood sucker families are responsible of billions African death . Sarkozy's action in Libya reminds us again that any African nation can survive only by a good army !
