Okay, the story starts like this:

- Affirmative, we can do a rolling takeoff
- Aware, CREATE 184 perform a rolling takeoff and as soon as possible turn left; Cleared to take off.
- Cleared to take off, good day.
- Clear for takeoff, takeoff thrust ingeniero.
in the name of the father, and children, and the holy spirit. Amen, let's go with God friends
Sergio Barrera, a young co-pilot Boeing 727 freighter serving a Colombian company, has impressive flying ability, a clear understanding of the aircraft and its systems, ya soon will be promoted to commander.
There is no air of sanctity when we fly with him in the cabin, but we try to keep our vulgar vocabulary to a minimum, although sometimes he lets out a few “pearls”, When he gets on the plane, he looks out the cargo door and tells the crew members that they are loading the plane.: “move, Move that ass, we're late” emulating the director of operations who is a young Paisa commander. (antioquian) who is always eager, or when one of the boys who are in a free union is found (get together) with his wife and tells them: “Be careful, you are living in sin”.
If you don't believe me, here is his photo in the middle of the ceremony, A little while later he is wearing his impeccable pilot suit as we see in the cover photo.
I have flown with many aviators who, in addition to pilot they have another profession, engineers, administrators, musicians, lawyers and even a doctor too; but it is the first time I fly with an active priest, although when I was young I was an altar boy in old Valledupar, I am very clear that I would never confess to him.
He is a young and very active boy., always publishes on their networks spotting (can't get enough of seeing airplanes) or fishing with his fisherman's cap and a Cuban cigar in his mouth, he says he usually releases the fish back, although you can also see some very big ones on the grill (He is also a chef).
He is an Anglican priest, of those who are allowed to marry and he seems very happy with his also young wife who is from the same community and the daughter of an older priest..
With this great dynamism, he always tries to bring the word to as many people as possible., with his own example and obviously the help of technology has made it possible; He prays the rosary daily and has many Internet followers.
The ACC is a choice of faith in daily life, I have never seen him with the intention of converting people to Anglicanism or during the flight, Well, they are a branch of Catholicism, but it is intended that all people come closer to God. A few days ago I attended his rosary on the Facebook channel “Sergio Camilo Barrera” and I was surprised that there was a large group of people, between them, several of our colleagues and their families.
The life of an aviator It's not always easy and glamorous as it seems, Sometimes being away from home for so long pays its price and is exacted with unimaginable costs of pain., I have seen many of my colleagues, and myself, find comfort in this great boy who speaks slowly and calmly (sometimes he lets out his boisterous laugh typical of his youth), Others are not believers but still have great respect for their beliefs and professionalism.. “He is the son we would all like to have”, says a veteran aviator who is also a flight and simulator instructor, and I couldn't agree with him more.
