On Monday, December 8, 2003, three Hawkins and Powers pilots began their trip to Walvis Bay, Namibia to help with the remake of the 1965 movie "Flight of the Phoenix".  Bob West, Jim Hederman, and Steve Dunn will be making several stops along the way, concluding their trip on December 18th (if all goes according to plan).  To see photos of the C119 that is being flown on this trip, or to read the itinerary and brief information about the countries they'll be visiting on the way, click on the links below.
