The Vintage Air Rally crew, flying aircraft that include biplanes built in the 1920s and 1930s, were held at the airport in Gambela, western Ethiopia, after they landed following their arrival from neighbouring Sudan. The oldest plane taking part dates to 1928; the oldest pilot is 72. "Just been resolved now," rally organiser Sam Rutherford told Reuters in a brief text message when asked for an update on their situation. "In hotel, Kenya tomorrow!" The aviators' aim is cross 10 countries, making 37 stops in a little more than a month.
