World Tour 2 - Leg 51 - Okinawa to Okierabu

The next day I plan to fly to Okierabu, to carry a couple of tourists that are visiting the islands. However, a huge storm approaches, so I hurry up and try to take off as soon as possible. And, as a coincidence, when I'm entering the runway I realise the radar transciever is not working. With that weather, it's very dangerous to depart without the radar, so I decide to return to the gate and have it fixed. After an hour or so, I'm able to finally take off, minutes before the storm hits the island.









As I left Okinawa, the skies were in better condition, allowing us to arrive without issues to Okierabu.












Time to look for new jobs towards Kyusu.
