This if off-topic, but has anybody had a chance to see “End of the Spear”?  The flying is pretty good, although there isn’t enough of it in there.  In the first landing on the beach you can see the right wing of the plane brush the treetops as right before he reaches the water.  That little PA-14 is an incredible plane.
 
Just curious.
 
GOD BLESS!

Hi Jesse,
I haven't seen that one but I recently bought
"One Six Right" and it is an excellent movie about
general aviation. Highly recommend it!

I'll have to check out "End of the Spear". Thanks for
the heads up! Smile

Jesse, awesome. I made a potential link between you and the story the other
day but didn't pursue the question. I guess explains some of the reason for
your stay in Ecuador?

I read "Through Gates of Splendor" while I was in Iraq in '03. It was one
of the books that my church put in its send-off carepackage for me.

All, this is the book you need to read to fill in any other gaps the movie
may have left out. I haven't seen the movie. The book was powerful enough
for me to not need the motion picture...

Thanks for reminding me Jesse. I haven't been watching enough
commercial TV lately with my head stuck in the project, so I
missed all the TV commercials. I just got back from the movie
now tonight. It was pretty well made, and a good story. It sure
is shows how hard it can be to relate to other cultures when there's
such a divide in beliefs and technologies. The ending of the
movie was pretty powerful with the river scene, for sure.

It was hard to see that little PA-14 take the beating it did.
Oh, and I'm surprised that back in the mid-50's they
had GPS on those little piper cubs....who woulda thunk? Wink

Pass on to your family that we liked it.

Well, you'll have to excuse the Garmin antenna. They say not to paint them.
I guess the guys who made the film could have found a way to paint it out,
but I guess they didn't know much about that stuff. I guess that was just a
really early model Garmin 430. Smile

Jesse,

I saw it yesterday. It is now on my all time best movie list. Very moving, what a heritage your family has. You must be very proud of the sacrifices your Grandfather and Father made and what a transforming story about the Wadoni.

The PA-14 looks like an impressive bush plane, don't you think the Bearhawk would serve that mission similarly, probably better STOL and load carrying? I think the rv-10 could as well, but would probably need some considerable gear beef-up and I'm not sure the low-wing would not serve too well on rugged strips.

best regards,

aj

Jesse,

father?

That's right.

In response to AJ, no, I am not proud of my father or grandfather. I try
not to be proud about anything. I am just thankful to have had a front-row
seat in this story and I'm glad to see how accurately it is told on the
screen.

I don't know much about the Bearhawk. There were only about 250 PA-14's
built and most of them that are still flying are in Alaska. We had to pay
$65,000 for an old one that was in decent (but not great) shape with a
poorly-overhauled engine that had to be replaced right after our ferry
flight.

Actually, the RV-10 could make a decent bush plane. It wouldn't hurt to
beef up the gear. The wheel pants would have to go and be replaced by some
kind of "mud flap" to keep rocks and stuff from tearing up the bottom of the
fuse and wings. It certainly would get you there and back a lot faster than
most bush planes, and would carry as much or more. We have been thinking
about that and would like to see one flying into and out of the jungle in
Ecuador one day. We will see.

Jesse;

Yes, my wife and I treated our neice to the show on Saturday night.
We really enjoyed it. I agree with Tim about the ending river scene.
I also found the scene surrounding the spearing of the men really hard
to watch.

But, I gotta say, when I first saw that GPS antenna....!!! I thought,
something sticky and yellow could've covered it! Then, I tried to
think of all the Piper Cub owners I know, and how I needed to warn
them not to see the movie if they hold the little bush planes near to
their hearts. Then, I realized, I don't know anybody that owns one!
Whew!

Thanks Jesse for the heads up on the film months ago. Hope to meet
you some day.
