Our cameraman, who it turned out was a pretty nervous flier at the best of times, actually asked the pilot, before we got on the plane, how long this flight would take, and the pilot -- Russian pilot -- completely deadpan, replied, "Six hours -- if we live."
Notre cameraman, qui est assez nerveux en avion a demandé au pilote, avant de monter, combien de temps le vol durerait, le pilote -- un Russe -- impassible, a répondu "six heures -- si on survit".
