Air Walser's Lama HB-XDN (MSN 2232) was ferried from Sevilla, Spain, to Libreville, Gabon, in 11 days and 45 flight hours. Vittorio Masetti was the pilot; he is a specialist, not only of the Lama, but also of the Sikorsky-Erikson S-64. Paolo ROSAIRE, the aircraft's engineer, has sent us those pictures taken at Casablanca and Agadir in Morrocco as well as in a forest close to Bamako in Mali. Due to his good care, the helicopter has never encountered even the slightest technical incident during the journey, where the temperature has risen from 10°C in Spain to more than 40°C in Gabon.
