Russian pilots of the Congo

Quite the documentary of something way outside of most of our worlds!

Yes, having gone in/out of Kin and Brazzaville, they're wonderful at not using radios, doing things their way, no transponders. Wonderful to hear 15 or 20 guys in the terminal airspace, no one understandable and not one symbol on the TCAS.

And if anyone hasn't see it, a little documentary worth watching:
