U-turn
Aug 10 2009 at 5:52pm EDT
The noise from the plane was deafening as it turned 180 degrees in front of us in preparation for immediate take off. The back hatch opened and as we began boarding, four French Mirage jets came out of nowhere and did a low altitude fly-by to scare off anybody with ideas of interfering with our escape. The sound of the jets hit me like a sonic boom to the chest and I will never forget the rush of adrenalin in that moment. Inside of one minute from the time the plane landed, we were airborne.
