Sweetwater Going For High-Energy Adventure in The Hollywood Conspiracy! All because of a Mark Twain quote!
Thank you Twain, and for that you have been written into my Jett Durango trilogy. Ai, Ai, Captain! We'll see you there on the riverboat!
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
A hovercraft is an air cushion vehicle (ACV) that flies above the earth's surface on a cushion of air. An engine that provides both the lift cushion and the thrust for forward or reverse movement powers it. It is a true multi-terrain, year-round vehicle that can make the transition from land to water, snow and ice without touching the surface. A Thrust propeller provides forward propulsion and directional control is accomplished via rudders mounted aft of the Thrust Fan. The Lift Fan provides air to inflate the "Skirt" to create a semi-sealed area between the hull and the ground permitting the craft to "Hover" in ground effect. On the 19XR, lift is controlled by the lift throttle handle on the left side of the handle bars. This regulates air pressure and volume in and under the skirt. Steering is accomplished with moveable rudders mounted behind the thrust propeller. A horizontal wing acts as an in flight trim system. Sweetwater has operated one of these hovercrafts in the early eighties as a rebel with a cause. Now it's time to put it to use in film. Sweetwater's film!
Spiro, the renegade entertainment lawyer, adventure-seeker and winner will be manning the hovercraft in The Hollywood Conspiracy in a scene that even Sweetwater can't believe, and she wrote it
Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
