Pilot Tom Koziel was helping his family by working on a semi-truck on July 27, 2014 when tragedy struck. Tom underwent seven surgeries and endured weeks of rehabilitation following the accident but his left hand was no longer viable. As a result his left hand had to be amputated. The event is intended to raise money to help pay for a special prosthetic arm . Denver Photographer Jeff McClintock has agreed to cover the event as well as donate 20 x 30 size prints of couple of his images like the ones displayed here in this post and to be auctioned off to help raise money.
One of the images scheduled to be auctioned off is the cockpit image of a Falcon 900b. The Falcon 900 is a French-built corporate jet aircraft made by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft can travel 3,995 nautical miles at as high as Mach .84. Its high speed cruise is 474 knots and 51,000 feet is its flight ceiling.
The second image also included in the auction shown here is titled “The Only Way to Fly! ” featuring a Lamborghini Gallardo. It is Lamborghini’s best selling model with 14,022 being built through it’s lifetime. The first generation Gallardo came with a 5 litre 90 degree V10 (4961cc). The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic robotized manual.
