My first ever flight - London-Cairo, nearly 40 years ago. Bumpy landing near midnight.
Hotel breakfast next morning, and front page news on the local English language paper. The radar controlling Cairo airport had been out of action for months and months. Controllers were using binoculars instead. And when things got too confusing/busy/crazy/downright ****ed ....
.... they switched off the radio!

Let 'em sort their own way down!
In those days, Lufthansa required their pilots flying into Egypt to be fluent in Arabic. Not restricted to polite Arabic, either!
