Attraction of Newfoundland.

Blogroll, Editorial, From the Road, People 6 Comments »

It seems the Newfoundland is a very attractive place. Icebergs love to look into the waters around the island in this time of the year. We are in Newfoundland. Outside is a typical Atlantic weather - which means it is not quite like the one you see on the picture.

Plans to set up a ‘RA-85123 fun club’.

Editorial, De-mythology, Times&Spaces, Clash, RA-85123 Fan Club 6 Comments »

A precious gift from my friends in Kuban - the RA-85123 casted into a model. Whenever I look at this model, an ‘old idea’ of starting a ‘new topic’ nudges me again, and it seems at this time I’m going to ’spill something out’ with regard to it. OK, let’s explore the idea of setting up an on-line fan club of devotees (should say ‘Lonely Hearts’ :) to the particular plane - the Tupolev-154, reg. # Ra-85123.

I proclaim myself as a founder, and a ‘Club Member #1′. Who’s next? :)

‘Baptized’ by the Russian Aviation Authorities as ‘RA-85123′ :)

‘Kuban&Cubana’, - never heard of?

Tell you, nothing in common with Dolce&Gabbana’ :)

‘Kuban&Cubana’ logo

Yeah, sounds funny, and in fact it would better be suitable for an ‘airline alliance’ name.. Or, they’ll rather use this ‘logo’ as a letterhead graphic on the first page of their interline agreement, if ever such an agreement would be forged between the two :)

Petlyakov-8, a Soviet WW II long range bomber.

Editorial, Big Clash, Times&Spaces No Comments »

A vintage photograph showing the Pe-8 bomber, - apparently undergoing some maintenance. Being under impression after talking with Shere, visiting the Nanton Lancaster Museum, I thought about how to continue this little research on the long range bombers - pilots and machines - and post some results of it here.

Lancaster Museum in Nanton

Something about John Fraser.. Following up the ‘Flute Attendant‘ story I looked into a folder with the Nanton Air Museum pictures taken during a recent visit to the place. Bingo. I found a picture of the information board on the wall in one of the museum’s corner with a brief on John Fraser, a Shere Lowe’s father.

Shere and Len Krenzler, an artist Another interesting unscheduled meeting: as we were getting together downstairs to check out from the Four Points hotel in Edmonton, I saw Shere and this gentleman, who happen to be her friend Len Krenzler. Len is an artist.

Flute Attendant

Editorial, From the Road 8 Comments »

Shere has just finished performing a short piece of classic on her flute at 40.000 feet. We should have a good chat with her, - and we will - she is a very interesting person to talk to. She plays flute for the guests on our flights.

Here she is, performing..
