at 08:25How ironic. Another bent Malaysian air steward in the same morning reading.

at 17:20My ? about Bouraq was because it was (so far) my scariest experience. I had enjoyed as a student earlier good deals with Garuda and less happy but short lived experiences with Air France (LHR landing) & Austrian (Katmandu – cow on runway) when landing turned into full power take off.
Bouraq was my best – or worst! Sitting opposite a very scared stewardess on a flight from Palu to Manado in a cabin filled with condensation, we circled again and again through thick cloud past a landmark building (for the pilot) to eventually luckily put down safely… The stewardess told me that he had had no choice but to land then as we were almost out of fuel and a visual landing in Manado was all there was…. Isn’t that What “air travel” is all about? Interesting to know about near misses of others that luckily ended well…28 Nov 2018
