Hard To Find Ones

Classic picture. A DC9-15 painted in back, tailored to Mr. Hefner's liking inside and out. I had the chance to fly one of these, only a larger version called the 32. It was owned by Eastern Airlines back in the day and needed up being bought by Republic Air in South America. They changed the name to a more Hispanic flair and named it Aerorepublica. Awesome plane for a meeting at 37.000 ft, the real mile high club.

The most important feature of this picture is the Lincoln/Cadillac coming out from the aircraft's belly which defines an era of opulence and sexual revolution led by Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine.

Now here is the real deal in vintage aviation, the H1 (Howard Hughes 1) the famous aircraft in which Howard Hughes had a controlled crash into the ground as seen in the DiCaprio's representation (The Aviator). What is most amazing is the natural blending of blues and silver, along with the svelte silhouette of this unique craft, so stylish and yet robust enough to house the powerful and commensurate radial engine designed for air races.

There is a special value for many aviation enthusiasts about this aircraft and there is also an element of power embedded in its aura, as it looks like the great Cadillac of the air, especially when back in the time the name had a heavier resonance among elites.

And here is my darling, this precious Emeraude flying on the brink of illegality in terms of aviation safety regulations that allow (or do not) pilots to fly in restricted visibility conditions. However, regardless of the visibility limitations, these veils of light clouds season and decorate the venue by covering the background in a nice manner.

Love the round shapes of the windows and especially the elliptical shape of the wing, very much like the spitfire, obviously very British. See the G on the side along with more letters? well that B stands for Britain.
The very bottom line about the candid shot is the true representation of general aviation and the feeling of taking your plane for a joyride on a weekend, it just looks as fun as it is in real life. Give it try

Until the next issue, all the best,
