AT I understand there were a couple of transporters (possibly Skymasters) on the apron when the bombardment commenced. Also, I gather that the last flight of the TAIP was on 18th evening, piloted by Capt. Solano de Almeida, ferrying the last of the wives of the military personnel to Karachi (flying below radar level), as recounted by a parachutist nurse. This fact (of a plane leaving from the damaged airfield) is mentioned on the Bharat-Rakshak site. This means that there was still one transporter left on the tarmac. Could this be the plane that was comandeered by Mario? Besides this Skymaster, I have been told that there was a partly dismantled Viking undergoing maintenance in the hangars. I wonder what was the fate of the other equipment, like the appropriate towing vehicles - nowadays one sees the ugly Ford tractors doing the towing jobs... Gabriel.

Try to get it out of the horse's mouth. If not possible, I can give an account of what I have pieced together; believe me, it is quite fascinating. A few heads rolled too... AT I was intrigued by the following sentence in Alfred de Tavares' post: But about flights' details apply to Mario Cabral e Sa: he comandeered one of the Skymasters, a little while after the Dec 19 action, fleeing Goa, via K., cracked screen, etc. Mario seems to be a person of many talents. Besides writing books and articles, he is also a pilot. Would be interested to know why Mario decided to flee Goa, and why did he return. Given the above prank, I would have thought that returning would be a trifle difficult. Sachin Phadte. _ Hey there NRIs!
