饰有埃塞俄比亚航空公司金狮的波音767沐浴在非洲的阳光中,机长洛尔·阿巴特开始作飞行前检查。他的961班机很快就要起飞,从亚的斯亚贝巴到象牙海岸,飞行12小时。42岁的机长在察看他头顶上方的仪表,钩鼻梁,翘胡子,象一位和蔼可亲的老牌战斗机驾驶员。在公司机群中,飞行员最喜欢这种飞机。洛尔身边坐着副驾驶员、34岁的约纳斯·梅尔库里亚,他等着与他的头脑冷静的机长一起飞行。 Boeing 767, decorated with Ethiopian Airlines Lion, bathed in the sunshine of Africa, Captain Lol Abarth started pre-flight inspections. His flight 961 will soon take off, flying from Addis Ababa to Ivory Coast for 12 hours. The 42-year-old captain looks at the instrument above his head, the bridge of the nose, his beard, like an amiable old fighter pilot. In the corporate fleet, pilots like this aircraft. Sitting next to him, Jonas Melcuria, 34, was waiting to fly with his calm captain.
