Sometimes timing isn't very encouraging. I was rereading my favourite book today WIND,SAND AND STARS and the battle to slip a small aircraft past huge ocean storms. The news came on about the missing Airbus. Exupery was one of the pilots who pioneered this very route before he, and all of his compatriots were lost in accident or war.
I have a screensaver of 'The Rainbow' a lovely aircraft that successfully carried the mail on this route.
We talk of gear, mental preparations and endless scenarios.
But sometimes nature, fate or God whisper no.
Given our international community, thoughts and prayers to anyone affected.
