"In 1960, the Atlantic islands of the Azores are the centre of the world. On a bright night, a teenage figure invades the runway of the international airport and waits for a Lockheed Super Constellation to accelerate its four propellers. His plan is to reach the front landing gear, climb to the height of two men and slip into the wheelwell. Then wait for the aircraft to climb and trust there is room for you, the huge tyre and the dream of reaching America. You check your three dry pops in your pockets, wipe your hands on your tee-shirt and take two deep breaths. He's ready to launch himself into a new life.
\nIn the dark years of Santa Maria's history, the airport, built by the Americans at the end of the Second World War under the approval of Ant\u00f3nio Salazar, became the main technical stopover for most transatlantic flights by major airlines and offered valuable job opportunities to all Azoreans.
\nWith the end of the Capelinhos volcanic crisis, on the island of Faial, the Azorean Refugee Act opens the doors to emigration to the United States of America and spreads an atypical climate of escape throughout the archipelago. There isn't a family that doesn't see one of their own embarking for the New World".<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
