Gunther Plueschow cont.: Fatal Attraction
In 1929 G.P. did mothball his plane in P. Natales and returned to Germany to raise money, write his book and show movies.
When he returned he found the Heinkel partially eaten by rats but after repairs did fly for weeks again over uncharted territory around the Southern Patagoniean Icefield. He crashed his plane on Jan 26, 1931 into Lago Rico, killing himself and Dreblow.
The PLN is a semi-fictional condensation of this last expedition, taking you to one of the most remote and beautiful areas on earth.

This Pacific side has almost constant bad weather, is virtually uninhabitated and rarely visited by people, even today.
Land your plane among the ice-floes of many calving, unnamed glaciers and return along Lautaro Volcano (11.000ft) to the Pampa.
Several monuments for the fliers have been erected in the area, a full-scale replica of the HD 24 W is on display in a hangar in Ushuaia - and a great fan-page put up (in German):
