Similar Stories to Pilot Recalls Last Flight To Cyprus Airport on Bing News

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Capt. Adamos Marneros gazed with foreboding at the dots on the radar screen of his passenger jet as it prepared for landing on Cyprus. After a sleepless night in his London hotel room watching TV reports of the buildup to invasion, he pleaded on three separate occasions with the airline's boss to cancel the flight. The rusting hulk of another Cyprus Airways Trident now sits on the airport's apron, gutted and stripped of everything from its flight deck and fuselage. Taking heavy losses, the attackers failed amid fierce resistance, prompting United Nations peacekeepers to take it over and declare it a U.N.
