Wonderful relic from the past, Giovanni
It must have been amazing to pilot this behemoth. You've had an amazing career in aviation. I recall some of your stories when we would meet at pen shows. My pn;y non-commercial aviation experiences were a flight in a glider with my son, he gave that ride to me as a Father's Day gift many years ago. In the mid-70's I went up almost every weekend in hot air balloons, giving rides to my favorite customers. Amazing experience at 2-3,000 feet quietly soaring over the countryside. An unexpected surprise was, the huge balloon envelope over my head served as a magnifier of sound from the ground. We could actually hear people talking on the ground !!
