On the Van Nuys field we also saw a B105 come in with the DEA and we
took some photo's of two S64 Sky Cranes (I ve always wanted to see).
23 Jan 99 Glenn and I will be visiting Jack Pellett another Ch7 Angel
owner for the inorgaral gathering of Ch7 Angel owners in North America.
Jack's aircraft is of particular interest as he has been installing a Solar
T62 Turbine and we hope that by this time tommorrow you'll be informed
of his progress as we believe his facilitie may allow the use of camera's
NB:Please refrain from sending Glenn large email packages as he is
not at home and we spent 30 minutes downloading email on our hotel long
distance phone line, but don't refrain from sending him a contribution
as I personally know he spends a lot of money and time servicing this website
(remember he's married and has to answer to a non helicoptering finacial,
social controller). I believe this is a great site, Glenn is a very generous
and helpful kind of guy ready to help any rotorhead. The other way to repay
Glenn for all his personal commitment to this helicopter site is to send
in any information and or experience you have with helicopters, especially
helicopters in action,ie. lifting, spraying, powerline maintenance, vietnam
memorabilia photo's etc.
21 Jan 99 My good friend Glenn Ryerson arrived in at LAX to visit with
me and we wasted no time in dicussion of our favorite topic the helicopter.
Glenn met me in LAX as I had arrived a month ago here in Van Nuys with
the Royal New Zealand Airforce aboard a Beachcraft Kingair B200 to
carry out a major Avionics Refit at IFR Avionics on the Van Nuys Field. 
We
left Auckland NZ on 11 Dec 98 Flew across the pacific to Samoa then
onto Christmas Island, to Kona Hawaii (Great place,Great time) and then
onto Van Nuys LA. on 13 dec 98
Sorry Great time no photos camera over exposed film. (going digital)
Going to buy a coolpix for the 11 day flight down the otherside to home.
Back and settled in the Airtel Plaza hotel and Glenn's laptop cranked
up, we were into the goodies: photo's from Agusto Ci Care' and families
visit. Glenn went to enormous lengths in the entertainment of our highly
asteamed helicopter Icon. Buying a Murcury Van for their stay, taking them
to Steam Town Pensilvania, New York to visit the Intrepard Aircraft Carrier
museum, Statue of liberty, and surrounding sights. To Florida, to the Cape
to show the NASA facility.
Two years Priorly I had been to Oshkosh and visited the Cape (a Lifetime
Goal fullfilled) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Apollo programe memorabilia,
which is just something else, and I bet Augusto and his boys enjoyed this
treat as well. The obvious next delight was you gest it Disney World for
a couple days for Mucho Enjoyment.
Then Glenn and Damaris took the Ci Care' Family and visited Miami south
beach before returning home via Washington DC. where they had a chance
sighting off monica's ex squeeze travelling into the White House which
pleased Augusto emencely. They visited the Smithsonian National Air and
Space Museum. Home for a breather and some fine on Glenn's Angel Nina.
Prior to the Ci Care's departure Glenn took them to one of the most important
places, another helo nut must, (Where Glenn had treated me on my stay with
him two years previously)
The American Helicopter Museum in Philidelphia. Where Augusto was very
warmly welcomed and enjoyed himself emencely. This is a cool place, the
R-4, Bell 30, Piasecki, Hiller air jeep etc.
