 We've all got them but how often do you utilise your guardian angel?

Even before Phil Latz was speared at age four while growing up on a Lutheran Mission in Australia's desert heartland his angel was working overtime. Join him and his ethereal guardian on a remarkable adventure as Phil makes the transformation from a feral outback kid growing up with Australian Aborigines, to a cosmopolitan high-flying pilot of the world's largest helicopter.
His worldwide experiences may even inspire you to begin the career  you always dreamed about while using his many travel hints and tips about different countries' local customs.

 "I had to fly and navigate by the stars while hanging in the sky as my helicopter had no lighting whatsoever. Unless I found our campfire in the inky darkness of the rocky, uninhabited and isolated Hamersley Range below us, I knew this journey would end in injury or death for me and my passengers."

`This is a captivating story of life in another century.  It's a remarkable tale of desert and jungle survival, finding religion and losing faith, about discovering lust and finding love, about dying in aircraft accidents that didn't happen.  It's an inspirational account of a man who set his goals in the sky and achieved them. His hard-working angel keeps saving him during his early travels and later while dodging hidden rocks in clouds. Then spears and gunfire in the third world. 
A must read true story.'

Ted Egan, OA ~ Administrator of the Northern Territory

About the Mil Mi 26 CD PDF Print E-mail

 

This disc contains information on the massive Mil helicopter not available elsewhere. Only on my CD, in logical English, can you find the manner in which the five man crew avoid damaging or destroying the huge chopper and themselves. How they manage the available 24,000 hp (17,890 kw), which could rip the machine to pieces in seconds, is revealed on my CD. The strict operating requirements included are astounding, as is the machine.

 

In addition, the following items/particulars are shown:

Detailed photographs of the cockpit (with descriptive captions), illustrating the pilots, engineer and radio operator/navigator instrument panels. The loadmaster's domain, the cargo or passenger hold (capable of seating over 76 or flying 150+ people in emergencies), is illustrated. Also, the loading winches and some of the vehicles flown, such as a normal road grader are depicted. Engines and other huge, normally hidden components are also revealed.

 

A payload versus range and temperature chart, plus other usefull and technical information further informs you about this brutish but sleek machine, which needs over 40 metres (130 ft) of clear space to turn its rotors. The PDF file of illustrations and graphs included, allows detailed examination of the aircraft.

 

The author's background and information about his published autobiography, (which includes introducing the Mil to S.E. Asia and operating it), round off the picture of this truly unique helicopter.
