L'APPARAT
Bonjour,
Le NC 859 est triste, il n’ira pas à Ushuaia pour promouvoir l’aéronautique française et sa jeunesse ! Il n’y aura aucun avion français dans le rallye, l’équipage français sélectionné ayant choisi un avion américain Waco. Maintenant qu’il est équipé “Grand Raid”, le NC volera vers d’autres cieux exotiques. Son rêve brisé aura fait connaître l’APPARAT et son musée : Merci à Yves Le Bec pour son dessin. Ci-dessous, le verdict implacable de Vintage Air Rally. A bientôt pour d’autres aventures. Cordialement. Pierre Jarrige.
The game is played, the dice are thrown... �� But first, the #VintageAirRally Team would like to say #ThankYou �� to all applicants for entering this #competition, for candidly sharing your lives and stories with us, for taking the risk to not be chosen. Without you, this #incredible journey wouldn't have been possible and we are very grateful to all of you. As you witnessed, we've had truly #amazing applications: people with unbelievable aviation skills, people with no aviation skills, vintage planes with real-life stories but also endearing, funny and strong characters, ... So how to choose, now that we have got to know you so well? Now that so many people have pledged their support for you? Well, it has been with difficulty - lots of Grit! Believe us! - and pain in the heart that we had to come to the decision of whom to let go. We hope though that, even for those for whom the story ends here (at least for this #Ushuaia2USA), the experience has nonetheless been a fascinating one from which you gained in some way, be it by reconnecting with some of your old friends, making new internet-aviation-friends or living funny moments making your videos... Enough talk for now! Who are the final #LUCKY15?
