A harrowing experience occurred later on a flight from Kenya to Usumbura, the capital of Ruanda-Urundi. Because no scheduled air service was available for the last lap of that journey, Jerry Beavan was forced to charter an aged DC-3. It wasn’t supposed to go over 12,000 feet because the cabin was unpressurized. The mountains, though, went up to 14,000 feet; as a result we found ourselves gasping for breath. Then we ran into clouds so dense that we could barely see the wingtips. Shortly afterward, the Pilot came back to tell us that both radios had gone out. He couldn’t tell where we were, he said, and we dint have enough fuel to turn back. I asked everyone to gather round for a time of prayer. We had several reporters along, from Time, the Associated Press, and Life; they gave the loudest amen as I prayed. Finally, a hole in the clouds appeared, revealing Lake Victoria below. The pilot dove through the clouds and finally got his bearings; he was then able to land without further incident.

 

The Flagship Detroit was the 21st DC-3 built for American Airlines in 1937. This airplane is one of the oldest airworthy DC-3s in existence.

  2. This sample answer addresses the company’s brand and history, but also demonstrates that the candidate took the time to do some additional research through his network (read on for some tips on how to research companies before you interview). The answer goes on to emphasize the candidate’s interest in working hard and developing on the job.
