On their flights around the world the crew of Interflug's IL-62 experience many adventures with the experienced Captain Steinitz and Co-Pilot Paul Mittelstedt. They face many challenges and conflicts - for example an emergency landing in Africa after a bird breaks the cockpit window or when the airport police target them.
