The welcoming party waiting to receive the royal could hardly believe what it saw: Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Darussulam himself emerging from the Captain’s seat.
Bolkiah, to their disbelief, had flown the aircraft on its journey to New Delhi, considered rare for a head of state who is one of the world’s richest persons.
Old timers recalled that the Sultan had captained the aircraft on his previous visit to Delhi in 2008 as well.
A tricky situation arose as the air traffic controller’s radio crackled again with the request to take the aircraft to the parking bay. “Aye,” came the response.
“Now my pilot will take over promptly,” said the Sultan as a backup pilot took control of the aircraft’s yoke and taxied it to the parking bay.
