Sentimental journey... We recall the life & times of a great Chilean air cargo pioneer Alex Thiermann.

In Normandie as that big D-Day gathering today June 6 will see return of DC3s above the skies above the coast of France ,we visit friends and family there.

Some years since we journeyed to Bernay in Normandie and relived some WWII memories with our Uncle Claude who recalled D Day through the eyes of a child.

As preamble , it needs to be noted five years ago there were maybe 250 veterans of that day visiting aboard a tour from England and this year there were only maybe 10% of that number on the same tour.

“CONFETRA,” said our senor contributing editor Marco
Sorgetti based in Rome,” is an interesting report on the
state of air cargo in Italy.

“For me this was a great opportunity to report comforting
numbers from my home country, albeit with some alarming signs.” This gave us
reason to take contact with some of our friends by hop scotching around the
world with the aim to understand difference and similarities, through a series
of short statements regarding the state of air cargo in their respective areas.

With thanks to Marco plus an illustrious   list
of participants here we go.
