    I think Locutus is jealous

    Nice story, Patrick. Although unplanned, it was neat to get the story both from the flight deck AND the cabin. The best flying experiences I've had were when airline employees were flexible and resourceful enough to go that extra mile to help. It's nice to see that spirit alive in an off-the-beaten-track place like Ghana.
