Sun rising over the tundra, 18th September 1957.


I am an inmate of Komsomolets 14, a mining camp for political detainees in the vicinity of Tomsk. My name is Ivan Denisovich. No, I'm not the I. Denisovich you may have read about in the "Idiot's Guide to Alexander Solzhenitsyn" for literature class... though I have met him. Why am I here? Because of my father, he was labelled a Kulak for not wanting to join the collective, and both he and I, a 17 year old crop-sprayer pilot with no formal training,

Krigl My man you just keep getting better and better! I love it! Superb series once more! Very unique too. Lovely

I'm speechless Krigl. Sincerely, an entertaining read, suspenseful, realistic and very well matched to the beautiful imagery. You're onto something special here my comrade. I'm anxiously waiting to find out how Ivan makes out. Any parallels here? Bravo and don't make us wait long for the continuation.....Ahoj...Clipper  :)

Now this is very different!!
  Everybody at the moment are trying to spice up their RTW trips (me being one  ;D) but why do so when we have your 'fugitive' stroy!!?

Thank you very very much Ivan

Hi everyone, thanks for your kind words! I'm looking forward to doing this series too, it was fun to write, and I've got ideas planned ahead for the next few flights...will post part 2 soon.

Spyro - you keep spicing up your RTW, you're doing a good job!!! To be honest, I'm happy to just look at pics without a story or background (and not only of women) but it seems to be true that posts with an "angle" tend to stir up more interest...

Here are the sources: Plane by Ivan Hsu - read the Readme, there's a great list of links + tons of details about the plane, a check list too, way cool....
