landing gear down for dissent. we were told to go around and the ppr was disapproved. we were able to through some of the guys on our team, declined to ppr while in the air to get more three more ppr and disapprove at which point we were only landing if we get approval from the chairman millie himself. we had circled for about 15 minutes in a pattern and asked the pilot to land and radio owed and we were going to land. at that stage, that is when we will take your pilots license and your aircraft certificate and m-16 in the air at the time. that was one of the incidents, that aircraft itself, 25 americans and they said the excuse was the aircraft wasn t big enough. sean, here is the thing. when you get a ppr, a guaranteed landing spot, and a landing spot, that meant 25 americans
