Scramble is pround to announce its second guest speaker for the evening program of the Aviation Day 2012 at 17 November! Some people like a particular type, some people travel five hours to see a particular aircraft, but you always have people who are addicted to one type. Guess what.....
we found one!
Hans Wiesman is addicted to Dakota’s and when we say addicted we mean addicted. From the hot desert of Africa, to the bottom of the sea near Phuket, Hans will travel to it. All his stories are now put together in one book, which will see his debut at the Aviation Day 2012!
On the evening of 17 november Hans will tell us all about his most remarkable stories of dakota findings worldwide. Hans will tell about both a crashed dakota in Yukon, which was rediscovered by Hans in great condition and he will also show us some highly detailed pictures about the Fantasma, a Turbo Dakota nowadays still in use against the FARC rebels in Colmbia.
STOP PRESS:
The Book Dakota Hunter will be launched on the Aviation Day as a FIRST DAY ISSUE with special cover for this occassion only!!
The book will have its first public introduction and sales on the Airfete on that same date. The 300+ pages book with over large 200 f/c photographs (most never published before) is a unique report of the sites and circumstances in which that plane survives as an irreplaceable
Bushplane and now also as a low-budget but very effective weapons platform. The Book is for sale right after Hans Wiesman’s presentation for €34,95 only and will be signed and marked as the First Day Issue of the book, a true collector’s item.
