First Tall Ships are Confirmed for New Orleans Navy/OpSail Commemoration

First Tall Ships are Confirmed for New Orleans Navy/OpSail Commemoration











New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) November 28, 2011

The NOLA Navy Week Host Committee and Operation Sail, Inc. have confirmed the first tall ships coming to New Orleans April 17 – 23, 2012. The historic USCG Barque Eagle will join the Guayas of Ecuador and the Gloria of Colombia in New Orleans at Woldenberg Park.

The U.S. Navy and OpSail will commemorate The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and The Star-Spangled Banner and have chosen The City of New Orleans as the inaugural destination of a three-year nationwide celebration that will also finish in New Orleans in 2015. For information on the commemoration, visit http://www.OurFlagWasStillThere.org.

“Being the inaugural city to kick off a three-year nationwide celebration speaks to the greatness of our city,” said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. “We will set the bar high for all cities by demonstrating our experience in entertainment on a massive level.”

States, municipalities, and civic organizations have formed host committees to organize the details of the events in each port in concert with Navy officials and OpSail executives. Mayor Mitch Landrieu appointed Mark Romig to be Chairman of the host committee in New Orleans, http://www.nolanavyweek.com. Related commemorations will take place on the Atlantic Coast in New York, Norfolk, Baltimore, Boston, and New London. Commemoration events in the Great Lakes will take place in Milwaukee, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo.

“Our committees have been working steadily to begin ironing out the details that will make up the event,” said Mark Romig, Chairman of the NOLA Navy Week Host Committee. “We are presently looking for sponsoring partners who want to be part of something truly historic and see the opportunity for vast exposure on a national level.”

Built at the Blohm and Voss Shipyard in Hamburg, Germany in 1936, and commissioned as Horst Wessel, the USCG Barque Eagle was one of three sail-training ships operated by the pre-World War II German Navy. At the close of the war, the ship was taken as a war reparation by the U.S., re-commissioned as the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle and sailed to New London, Connecticut, which has been its homeport ever since.

The Guayas, a 914-ton, three-masted barquentine, was named both for the longest river in Ecuador and the first steamship ever built in the Guayaquil Shipyard. The Guayas stretches over 257 feet long, and, like her sister ship, the Gloria, now serves as a training ship. She carries 80 cadets under the guidance of 35 officers and crew members.

Built in 1967, the Gloria is a Colombian barquentine now serving as a school ship, with a crew of 80 cadets. She was modeled after Germany’s Gorch Foch and is able to stay at sea for up to 60 days without external supplies. Launched in 1968 from Bilbao, Spain, she is 178 feet in length and carries 23 sails. Her first long voyage took place in 1970, when she traveled from Cartagena to Sydney, Australia.

“Bringing the tall ships of the world back to U.S. waters for the commemoration of this glorious American milestone excites the imagination,” said Jose Fuentes, chairman of Operation Sail. “Throughout 2012-2015, millions of people will watch these graceful and majestic sailing ships as they parade together, and celebrate the brotherhood of the sea and our freedoms.”

The week-long 2012 program in New Orleans will include parades of sail, public visitation, a spectacular air show by the Blue Angels, international athletic competitions, and community relations activities. The theme of the event is, “Our Flag Was Still There.”

“The War of 1812 really signified our rebirth as a Navy and a nation,” Said Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert. “In a few short months, we’ll be celebrating the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. We’ll learn a lot about our Navy over the next twelve months.”

The Navy has invited some 120 countries to send appropriate combat ships as well as their national academy sail-training tall ships to America for the 2012 commemoration events. The Navy and Operation Sail have partnered in producing major patriotic events for more than 50 years.

More ships coming to New Orleans will be announced between now and April 2012.

LEA Establishes Oxford Base

LEA Establishes Oxford Base










London, England (PRWeb UK) July 26, 2009

London Executive Aviation (‘LEA’) (http://www.flylea.com/home.html) is extending the company’s network with a new base at Oxford Airport in the UK.

One of Europe’s largest business jet charter operators (http://www.flylea.com/charter-a-private-flight/air-charter.html), LEA is basing its latest Embraer Legacy 600 at the fast-growing general aviation airport.

The new Legacy, the 1,100th aircraft to be produced on Embraer’s ERJ 145 platform, arrived at Oxford on June 9 2009, becoming the first LEA aircraft to be based there.

George Galanopoulos, managing director of LEA, says: “The recent investments at Oxford Airport are establishing the facility as another attractive and well-positioned centre for business aviation. Now that the airport can accommodate larger aircraft we believe that it will become increasingly popular with charter customers and operators. We are looking forward to basing a growing number of aircraft at Oxford in the coming years.”

Galanopoulos continues: “The airport is ideal for people who live and work to the west of London and who might currently be flying from Luton or Farnborough. Oxford offers a less-costly alternative to those facilities, with great opening hours and uncongested airspace.”

Steve Jones, Oxford Airport’s managing director, says: “We are delighted to welcome LEA, one of the longest-established and most high-profile charter and management companies to our family of businesses at Oxford. LEA’s high-specification, super mid-size Legacy 600, with its striking ramp appeal, is a welcome and complementary addition to the charter fleet based here.”

LEA Welcomes New Maintenance Manager

LEA Welcomes New Maintenance Manager










London, England (PRWeb UK) August 14, 2009

London Executive Aviation (http://www.flylea.com/) (‘LEA’), one of Europe’s largest business jet charter operators (http://www.flylea.com/charter-a-private-flight/air-charter.html), has welcomed Mark Williams to the team as the company’s new maintenance manager.

Williams, a licensed engineer with a BEng in aircraft maintenance, joins LEA after an aviation career stretching back to 1981. He says he is particularly looking forward to the variety of work he will experience at the company. LEA operates a fleet of seven aircraft types from the Cessna Citation Mustang and the Beechcraft KingAir 200 to the Embraer Legacy 600 and the Dassault Falcon 900EX. Williams says: “I know from experience that engineers in the heavy commercial sector are often only working on two or three aircraft types, or perhaps even just one. LEA’s fleet, however, covers the diverse spectrum of executive aviation needs.

“This job will be my biggest career challenge so far. I want to provide LEA with the stable maintenance platform the company needs to grow, whilst making sure we operate as cost-efficiently as possible. By introducing some new methodologies to the company, we can raise our standards even higher and ensure we minimise the time our aircraft spend in the hangar.”

George Galanopoulos, managing director of LEA, says: “We’re delighted to have attracted a man of Mark’s expertise and experience to the company.”

Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, LEA’s chief executive, adds: “Mark will play a key role in helping LEA maintain and improve our reputation for service excellence and reliability.”
