      from my obs, she's extremely confident and humble aviator. She is actually the longest-serving pilot in Air Seychelles and currently the director of flight operations.

Nicole and F/O Russell is emblematic of the people of Seychelles. Makes me feel so nice to see it in a Sam Chui video. Breaks my heart to know that Capt. Nicole is no more. Glad that her personality and her iconic Seychellois warmth and hospitality is restored for a lifetime in this video. RIP, Captain.

    I flew in a Air Seychelles B767 from Nairobi to Mahe. I had the pleasure of flying in a twin otter to Pralin and then a boat to La Digue.
    Answer Lazio on Pralin forever etched in my memory.
    Another memory was the planes that flew out of the airport. BA and Air France B747 and Aeroflot Tu154. Boy the Tu154 made some noise letting you know it was taking off.
    The route was regularly flown by the same crews by BA as my relatives knew which Captain flew there.
    Thanks for filming and posting a world hidden secret. I hope to be back.
