Karl Jensen
I have browsed through the issue with great interest- ending with the Helderberg story. I personally flew that aircraft on 83 sectors – an absolute delightful and beautiful airliner.
My next attack on the magazine will be a read of the Pan Am final flight. When I became a 747 Captain with SAA in 1980, I did my command course at the Pan Am Academy at Miami – look forward to reading it when time permits. I retired in mid 2003 reaching the then ridiculous retirement age of 60
Tom Chalmers was a personal friend of mine. Prior to joining SAA in 1968, I worked as a Charter Pilot and Flying instructor at NAC at Virginia
I know that Tom would’ve been a good airline pilot, but was sadly prevented from doing so by an eyesight aberration.
I wish you guys good fortune with World Airnews Joan
Cor Beek
