	Here is a documentary about pilot flying 727s to remote area in Angola here is the description : "Telling the remarkable story of the pilots who bring fuel to the remote diamond mines of Angola, Flying Tankers (Tankers en plein ciel) profiles Jo�o 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 airline pilot uniform." this was aired on french tv many moons ago so sadly for non french speaking members, it is in french but I hope you will like it anyway : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hISNpTEAa8&feature=related the other parts are on youtube

	Good morning everybody, it's a very insteresting documentary and in French The 727 is a very good ariplaine and it's unbelieveable to see a so complex aircaft in a dry runway. It don't think that the engines like the dust... Thank you for the link passeur. Have a good day everybody
