Jerrie settled behind the controls of her beloved Charlie and flew over the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Suez en route to Saudi Arabia. She followed a black pipeline, an area that wasn’t so desolate, so if her plane went down she could be rescued. She flew over clusters of villages and many watering holes with animals gathered about. An hour into the trip, she found herself feeling dizzy. As she looked around, she noticed things had lost their shape and appeared to be blurry. She took out the oxygen mask, hoping to clear her head. Everything remained out of focus. She wiped her sunglasses. Suddenly it became clear to her that she was in the middle of a sandstorm. The only advice she had ever received about sandstorms was to avoid them. But it was too late for that. This hadn’t been on the weather report—not a mention of it. She thought of landing the plane and waiting for it to clear but the ground below seemed to be moving. With the use of her instruments, she kept Charlie on course, and flew right through the blinding storm.
