Of course, there is so much more to that story…. It’s impossible to tell the whole thing in a small e-mail, you know?… Such as the fact that when they were about to take off… two old friends of my Dad (an attorney and his son) came running towards the plane… desperately asking for a ride, not knowing that Alex couldn’t even fly… and they hitched a ride, and no one said anything… till they heard Alex radio in for emergency equipment… At which time all they could do is be quiet and let Alex do his thing the best he could… Besides that, since the engine wouldn’t start… probably because Alex choked it or something… and while he kept trying and trying to start it, the battery went dead… So in desperation, they went to La Nica Airlines to ask for help to “jump” the engine to get it started… and they almost burned the damn thing… because the voltage used in the commercial planes is twice that of the voltage of the little ones! But managed to start it!
What cracked me up the most was when the whole family was sitting at the table with Alex and my Dad telling the whole story… and Alex told us that my Dad kept telling him during the flight… “You know, that’s not how Mundo does that”… And Alex said it got to the point that he didn’t know whether to try to fly the damn thing or kill my Dad!
