” German Guerrero’s Leave “
FSAdventureSky Flight–Back in 1942, German Guerrero was only 23 and a young Lieutenant in the Peruvian Army. His assigned duty was in the Amazon Jungle of Peru where he served for four years. Every four months he would get a pass for one week to go see his young wife in Lima. He told me many stories of those days, some of awe and some of “high doubts”:). German was a great friend and this is an example of the “flights in the Catalina” which he took to return to civilization and embrace his wife for a few days. This is the flight of FAP 559, a Consolidated Catalina, from 667-CER, an army base located in MANU (SPNU) to 778-CER and then on to Lima. Its was in the hight of the “rainy Season” and the pilot flew below the clouds over the jungle and high Andes Mountains under heavy rain all the way. Can you fly it and stand the rigors of it safely?….here is your chance.
