Zoueratt Atar 007 leg - Lisbon Dakar

[EHM-1752 Luciano]

Everything seemed ok at takeoff from Zoueratt...



nice weather enroute



suddenly the FSPassengers copilot advised we had a right engine failure, passengers scared...




difficult approach to Atar, plane going on one side...



safe landing luckily but impossible to taxi, plane couldn't go straight forward




I had to be towed to service station where I met a fellow pilot...it's Ian, isn't he?




I asked him to smile and took a picture. Nice.

A early morning take-off, beautiful desert sands looming at me ....
