Folks,
Adam, JimBob, and Victor Coletta (the sad ex-owner which I will forward this message
to):
Sorry on your frustration sending the mail Adam, I know the feeling... believe
me; but if and when you get your thoughts together and before it all goes too
much in a blur, we'll love to hear more about the journey :)
Meanwhile, if you want to hear/see close and personal a 1953 Commander and its
GO-435s, put on your head set and go to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd6Vgoa2BR8
but don't miss out on the final take off:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt4UaO7S0q4
Enjoy! it brings soooo many memories...
1974 in Rancho Pando, my Dad's farm in the middle of the Venezuelan Amazon basin
where we spent many vacations. He would stay with us a few days, and then he
had to fly the plane to feed us, so he would roll out the sandy field on a savana
in the middle of two gallery forests. The GO-480s would roar for very long
time; first the plane would disappear out of sight (and not come back for weeks,
sometimes months) in between two majestic Tepuis (imagine the Grand Canyon
but at 4degrees N. of the tropic -> all green, instead of red, but similar flat
top plateaux). You could still hear the sound of the engines way after completely
losing sight of the plane.
Eventually just plain silence... except for the wind, birds, and the mosquitoes
buzzing into your ears, but no civilization within 300 miles.
Have you ever heard that?
Thanks Commanders!
