PICS: SA teens to make history with flight from Cape Town to Cairo... in a plane they built themselves | Duncan025
'I am more than happy I got the job', says Esethu Mcinjana who was arrested after taking selfies while sitting on a bench in Sea Point
The group of 20 plans to fly the 10 139km distance on June 12 in a plane they have assembled themselves. The teens built the aircraft in two weeks under the guidance of The Airplane Factory, U-Dream mentors and five team leaders from Denel Aviation."The challenge has enabled us to take a lot of teenagers from different backgrounds to teach and equip them with life skills that they can take with them into the future," said Werner who hails from Krugersdorp.
The normal flight time in a commercial passenger jet is about 12 hours, and for the group, safety is a primary concern.
