ALM Virtual and the "History of a Past Glory"

On August 1st. and 2nd. 2005, ALM Virtual Airlines took part of the event "History of a Past Glory", created by the "Amor pa ALM" Foundation (A group of ex-employees of the Real ALM) at the Curacao World Trade Center.
With this, ALM Virtual has been recognized by all this nice people who kept the real ALM Brightening the Caribbean Skies!. That's because we all share the same feeling... the same "Amor pa ALM".
Virtual or Real, ALM is ALM!!!

A very famous visitor in our stand was Capt. Balsey DeWitt, pilot in command of the flight 980 of ALM on May 1970. The last flight of the "Carib Queen", a DC-9 forced to ditch in the Caribbean sea. I recommend this link for more information about the accident: HERE |
