Thank you for the kind words. All the credit for the film goes to Pelle Lönnberg who is behind the camera, I just transferred it to a format for the digital generation and added a few comments. I believe we have to preserve a bit of the good old times for the coming generations. Nevertheless i'm sure that after a while someone will see year 2012 as the good old times as well ;-)
If you mean the one sitting on the oxygen tube and removing very disturbing pocket lint from his candies, well that's me, at 5 years of age. Been infected with flying from the very beginning. First time in a glider at age 2 and as you can see from my other videos, never got rid of the disease :D
Nice to hear from you, it truly was a trip down memory lane to digitize this piece of history. I have never flown a Vasama but there is a distinct possibility to remedy that as a friend of mine owns one and have promised me a flight in it.
Last year I was the whole two weeks at the camp and it was a true pleasure after such a long time. I have already reserved time off to attend this year as well. Hope to see you there...
Hi Tom! Nice to be reminded of the old days, and especially to see Victor Alpha Juliet in the air. I joined Cumulus in summer 1968, and first flew VAJ on 9.6.1968 after your father and Rainer had first kept a strict eye on me flying PAR, Cumulus' PIK-5. After moving to Rovaniemi, I first flew at Paittasjärvi in 1971, mainly in RIK's K6CR but also - once - in VAJ in wave. I see that you are also a star in the film! Picked out Stig and I think Nisse too.
Incredible piece of history, lovely to read your comments and find you are the little cutie in it. wonderful film. thanks for posting x
