Tankers en plein ciel 5/5 727 Transafrik / Air Gemini

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.

Did you notice on Nbr 3/5 how datas are  void ? When talking of diamond prod. or some others figurs ; Each time , sound is cut off when names or precises figurs are quoted.

Reportage de première qualité ! pour le montage qui est palpitant et instructif ( histoire de l' Angola) . Et aussi , une franche admiration pour le sujet lui-même , Juan une vie de combat et pilote pas banale ! Une guerre crado, ou les éternelles banques vampires entretiennent massacre & famine pour voler les richesses minières. La vie passionnante d'un homme de grande valeur :une autre trajectoire loin de nos univers de normes de règles,de pistes sans trou ,mais la même passion de voler

This command really touched me to the fund, I offer my respects to considerations of his person and his courage and friendship according to its career. I hope the rest of him career aboard the 747 or 777. BRAVO to you sir. You have my salute of honor.
