Introduction
Airplanes have become very important and play a vital role in making our life easy. In this
technological age, we have eased our work with the help of radar and scanners, but there are still
countries like Columbia who is isolated from this privilege and also many areas that does not
have any connection to the city. DC3 cargo planes are used for delivering food and goods to the
villagers that are isolated from the rest of the world. The destination is one of the most remote
destinations in the world and one of the most perilous air routes in the world. On top of it
Columbian weather changes over time, these pilots fly through storms in decrepit planes over
one of the densest forest in the world been the Brazilian to deliver food and goods to these
villages.
Columbia circles across the Amazonian rainforest, the weather here changes in minutes. There is
no space for an emergency landing, an impenetrable jungle twice the size of Texas. On top of it,
usually during bad weather, there is no visibility and the radio is Silent. DC3 plane is a
commercial aviation icon and an aerial workhorse. These planes were used in a large number
during WWII. These planes have been used for a long time, so when it comes to cargo has a pilot
and a mechanic, Just in case if something goes wrong thing can be taken care off while the plane
is flying across the green hell.
