“We are airborne”
all lines have to beĀ winched up, secured, and confirmed, before the Captain declares, “We are airborne”
Nothing left to chance, you either know something is true, and act on it, or wait until your assumptions are confirmed. This is the first lesson I learned from Captain Eckener.
Once airborne we all have to be alert. Four days to South America, unload reload, three days home.
