Speaking during the Night of Tributes, Faleye said that they had just finished a meeting with Access UK, and after that, they embarked on a flight from London to Palms Spring. He said that although it was a long flight of 11 hours, it was an interesting one. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
In the video of the event which was shared by Channels Television, he said that in the middle of the air, he went to Wigwe and asked him how comfortable he was to fly a chopper at night. He said that was something he had never done before. According to him, Wigwe told him that America has a navigation system for choppers flying at night.
He said that when they finally arrived, there were two vans waiting for them – one was to take them to where they were supposed to board the chopper while the other was to carry their luggage.
He said, “I remember on Friday, after my boss’s board meeting with Access UK. He’d already told me to call one of his business partners to come from Lisbon to have a meeting. He had that meeting, he wasn’t satisfied, he said, ‘Ride with me.’ When Dr Herbert tells you, ride with me, it is all about meeting. They rode from Access UK to the house because we needed to pack. We packed and we were all rushing to go to the airport.
“We got to the airport in Luton… It was a sweet journey, 11 hours, we flew from London to Palms Spring. I remember in the middle of the air, I walked up to him, I said, ‘Sir, how comfortable are you flying chopper at night?’ I’ve never done it before. And he said, ‘This is America, they have a navigation system for flying chopper at night.’ And I went back to my seat. And we landed.
“Everybody was filled with joy that we were finally almost there. We sat, waited to be cleared by the immigration and we came out. So, coming out, we had two vans waiting – one was to take us to go board the chopper, the other was to get our luggage because they could not go on the chopper.”
He said that as they were loading the luggage, a thought came to his mind that it would take the chopper one hour to arrive their destination, while it would take the van over 3 hours to arrive with the luggage. So even if he arrived on the chopper, he would still have to go and wait for the van to bring the luggage. So he decided to go with the van instead of going with Wigwe and others on the chopper.
He said that when he shared his thoughts with Wigwe, he told him that it was a brilliant idea. So he wished them a safe flight and went to ride with the van while Wigwe and others flew on the chopper. And unfortunately, that was the last time he saw or heard from him, because the chopper crashed before it landed. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
