Campo d'Aviazione di Siracusa was a Sicilian airfield situated a short distance away from the Ear of Dionysius by road in 1969.
History[]
In 1969, following a confrontation at the Tomb of Archimedes in which Indiana Jones was captured, his goddaughter Helena Shaw stole a motorcycle with her friend Teddy Kumar and followed Dr. Jurgen Voller's Fiat 238 van holding the archaeologist and a truck which formed a convoy to the airfield.[1]
There, an engineer who was working on a small plane, attempted to stop the Nazi vehicles' unexpected arrival was killed by one of Voller's men. The convoy' personnel and their captive transferred to a waiting Heinkel 111 plane. Observing behind some cargo crates, Helena noticed a smaller I-ELA3 Nord aircraft and asked Teddy if he could fly it. Before Helena could explain her intent, Teddy suddenly headed off to hijack and start the plane without realizing its drunk owner was passed out in the back.[1]
Helena instead pursued the departing Heinkel on her bike and infiltrated it by clinging to the plane's landing gear.[1]
