| Publisher Description: Ibu Alvarado has been fortunate to have started in aviation at a time when things were uncomplicated and practical. The access he had to planes, pilots and airports fed and fueled that enthusiasm. His trajectory in aviation allowed him to live a passion lit from beginning to end: no itineraries nor established routes, exotic destinations and never heard of places, unorthodox passengers and cargos, meaningful flights, and finally, total satisfaction before, during and after each flight. One starry night flying over the Magdalena River, he realized he had arrived; he was where he always wanted to be, doing his thing. However, for him arriving does not mean the end of the journey; it's a continuation of his passion. |
Contributor Bio(s): Alvarado, Ibu: - At the early age of five, Ibu's fascination with aviation began, and that fascination has not diminished over the years. His entry into the real world of aviators commenced right after his college graduation, a journey of continued and persistent dedication to flying.
