Philippine Air Lines (PAL) was established in 1941 by various businessmen, including Andrés Soriano. Soriano, a Spanish Filipino businessman, was president of the San Miguel brewery and loaned his personal Beech 18 for PAL’s conception. By 1948, PAL was flying DC-6s from Manila to SFO via Guam, Wake Island, and Honolulu, a similar route to the one used by the Pan American Airways’ transpacific Clipper flying boats during the late 1930s and early ‘40s. Have you ever flown on Philippine Air Lines?

Uma das alas que mais gostei do Museu da Ciência, depois da parte das placas tectônicas, foi a parte dos minerais.
.
Essas pedras estão em uma coleção das versões brutas (como são encontradas na natureza) e as versões lapidadas.
.
Repare no brilho e no tamanho do Topázio brasileiro!
.
Muitas pedras brasileiras no acervo, inclusive.
.
As minhas pedras preferidas são as azuis e as verdes, lindas demais!

.
The most amazing collection of gems in the Science Museum. Look at the size of the Topaz from Brazil!
