On Saturday, November 14, Pope Leo XIV sat between two pilots in the cockpit during a flight with a Peruvian Air Force helicopter and waved to his fans from there.
The published photos show the Pope with a communication phone on his head, in the cockpit of the helicopter and sitting in the seat between the two pilots. These flights were carried out on the route between the city of Chiclayo and Santa Cruz de Suchabamba in Peru.
Leo XIV, who was born in Chicago, America, lived as a missionary in Peru for about 20 years and has both American and Peruvian citizenship.
