  • Episode 6, NC-4: First Across the Atlantic, Pensacola, Florida and Hammondsport, NY
    Episode 6, NC-4: First Across the Atlantic, Pensacola, Florida and Hammondsport, NY Elyse Luray: Our first story examines a swatch of fabric which may be from one of history’s most forgotten milestones: the world's first transatlantic flight. May 17th, 1919. The Portuguese Azores. Men in whaling ships watched the sea for their prey, harpoons at the ready. But on this morning, they make an unexpected and otherworldly sighting. A huge gray flying machine emerges from the fog, making a roar unlike anything they have ever heard before. Six American airmen ride 20,000 pounds of wood, metal, fabric and fuel, and plunge gently into the bay, ending the flight of the NC-4. It was journey many had thought impossible. For the first time, men had flown from America to Europe, crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean. But strangely, while their voyage was eight years before Charles Lindbergh's flight, few Americans have ever heard of the NC-4. Almost 90 years later, a woman from Saratoga, California, has an unusual family heirloom that she believes was a part of this milestone in aviation history. I'm Elyse Luray and I’m on my way to meet Shelly and hear her story. Hi. Shelly: Hi Elyse. Elyse: Nice to meet you. Shelly: Come on in. Elyse: So is this something that has always been in your family? Shelly: Yeah. It was passed down from my grandparents. Here it is. Elyse: Okay. So this is the fabric. Wow! It's in wonderful condition. Shelly: Yeah, it's been in the envelope for years and years.

    CFASPP Continuing Florida Aviation System Planning Process ________________________________________________________________________________________________ SOUTHEAST FLORIDA METROPOLITAN AREA CHRIS MCARTHUR, CHAIR September 14, 2010 Dear Committee Members, Advisors, and Participants, Subject: SOUTHEAST FLORIDA METROPOLITAN AREA CFASPP Committee Meeting Date/Time: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 10:00 AM. Location: Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Administration Conference Room It’s hard to believe that we are once again nearing the end of another year in Florida aviation. Participants that attended our last Statewide meeting in Tampa were treated to an enlightening presentation that highlighted the significant infrastructure improvements that will be required to support aviation growth in Florida over the next fifty years. Unfortunately airport sponsors will likely find it difficult to meet these demands as revenue streams and capital budgets continue to fall. I hope that you will make time to attend and participate in the discussions at our next regional meeting as we cover several important topics affecting aviation in Florida. Our next meeting will be held on September 28, 2010 in the Administration Conference Room at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport beginning at 10:00 AM. CFASPP Round 2010-3 will conclude with a Statewide Committee meeting on November 10th at Tampa International Airport. As always, if you have an item that you would like added to the agenda for discussion by the regional committee, please let me know prior to our scheduled meeting date. If you should have any questions or concerns prior to the meeting, please feel free to let me know or you may contact Dan Afghani, CFASPP Administrator via e-mail at [email protected].
