1933 VENEZUELA: Jimmy Angel - the highest waterfall on earth
After flying for a warlord in China, American pilot Jimmy Angel took to the skies from 1921 - 42 in the south of Venezuela, called the “Gran Sabana”, uncharted territory at the time.
Always looking for rivers of gold and lost cities among its mysterious table mountains called “Tepuis”. He discovered the highest waterfall ever (1000m) which was given his name.
His adventures could fill a separate topic here:
Let’s fly a condensation of his trips, with a Beaver that comes close to his “Flamingo” - a plane he terminally landed on top of the falls, today on display at Ciudad Bolivar airport:
The dozen sim airstrips we come along were just pastures in the jungle at the time. “michibiki3578” has created the Angel- and Canaima- falls at the .to so download them first.
Unfortunately fabled SU15 has not improved the DEM (there are still wide FSX-type patches and bizarre pyramids) but its a great adventure nevertheless, away from trodden paths.
