Hi ONA CREW!
I would like my fellow crewmembers 
that the film SECRETERIAT is coming 
out mid October...the big red horse 
that won the Triple Crown etc. 
Was watching a program on the horse 
and it had real footage and some 
scenes from the movie... 
I was so so excited that after the 
horse had run its last race it did 
an honor lap around the racecourse 
then they loaded him onto the 
aircraft to go home to retirement 
and....IT WAS OVERSEAS NATIONAL 
on the real footage, I called George 
Flavell and he told me that the owners 
were so pleased with Overseas National 
when they flew Secretariat one time 
that we had the exclusive contract 
to fly Secretariat everywhere. So if 
the film is sticking with reality 
they will use Overseas National.

I have to see the film! It is the 
Electra equipment. Do any of the 
Electra guys remember flying 
Secretariat? 

We send our love to everyone
Dave and Cece McCloy

MEET CECILIA!

FROM INGE CASTRISSIADES
The crew in question 
(Amos Blum, LAX)  was my crew. 
I am holding the cake, behind me 
is Dara Young, we recognized 
Karen Pickelsimer as well. 
They were new F/A's and I was 
new as a senior. I am working 
on the rest of the girls, 
trying to find my old log book.
 Will let you know. I do know 
Thila Gerber and Cecelia quite 
well.

Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse, who in 
1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in twenty-five years, setting new race records 
in two of the three events in the Series—the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), and the Belmont 
Stakes (2:24)—records that still stand today.

Secretariat was sired by Bold Ruler (a grandson of Nearco) and foaled to Somethingroyal. 
He was foaled at Meadow Farm in Caroline County, Virginia. Like the equally famous horse Man o' 
War, Secretariat was a large chestnut colt and was given the same nickname, "Big Red."

Owned by Penny Chenery (aka Penny Tweedy), he was trained by Lucien Laurin and mainly 
ridden by fellow Canadian jockey Ron Turcotte, along with apprentice jockey Paul Feliciano 
(first two races), and veteran Eddie Maple (last race). He raced in Penny Chenery's 
Meadow Stable's blue and white checkered colors and his groom was Eddie Sweat. 
Secretariat stood approximately 16 hands 2 inches (170 cm) tall, and weighed 1,175 
pounds (533 kg), with a 75 inch girth, in his racing prime.
