Air-Liner Crew Flees Cuba With 12 Riders
The three man Cuban airliner crew stole their plane with 12 passengers aboard and fled to Miami to escape revolt threats. The event follows prior Cuban flights by other planes fleeing danger as government actions spurred pilots to seek safer routes. Captain Villamar stated the escape was to avoid possible conscription and danger at home.
