TV program about HG in Brazil

Post by wmelo »

From next Tuesday, April 17, at 9:30 p.m., the debut of the unpublished series "Crossing of Asa-Delta", which tells of the adventure of three pilots and a rescue that broke through the winds of northeastern Brazil, opens. There were over 1000 miles flown, passing through six states and breathtaking landscapes. The series follows the expedition of the pilots Marcelo Abbott, Alipio Loyola, Beto Schmitz and the rescue Marina Godoy in a trip that begins in Bahia and ends in Ceará, passing through states like Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and the route of the great records of the northeastern sertão, from the ramp of Tacima. With 11 episodes, the premiere shows the team meeting in Salvador, Bahia, and the first reconnaissance flight on the Conceição da Feira ramp. We will also meet the master Beto Schmitz who, with the team's drivers, introduces some of the concepts involved in the practice of free cross country flying. Meanwhile, Marina Godoy has her first rescue mission to the landing place of the pilots.
