Tjukurba - Here I Come
The plane slewed out of the bumpy thunder clouds and thumped onto the tarmac. Two of the five passengers looked at each other with raised eyebrows across the narrow aisle of the small aircraft. I had been watching the airstrip slide from side to side through the cockpit windscreen between the heads of the young pilot and co-pilot. Even so, the landing came as a surprise and I couldn’t contain an audible gasp. I hoped the others hadn’t heard, but they probably did.
