This is an odd coincidence i guess, but just thought id share it. I was reading about the Antonov-25 airplane that flew those ultra long range flights from Moscow to the pacific northwest in the late 1930s.
After the flight across the icecap, they landed at BARAK airfield near Vancouver! And supposedly Obama’s mom lived in Seattle about the time of his birth. One of the theories is that she gave birth in Vancouver. Is “Barak” a family name? Did she name him after the place where Soviet airmen landed? This is from Wiki, i wonder about them on politics, but this was an article about old airplanes. I just thought it was odd for that name to pop up in Vancouver back then, associated with a communist record setting flight.
From Wikipedia,,
“Belyakov made a non-stop flight from Moscow to Portland, United States in a bad weather condition during most of the airway. After 60 hours of flight they passed Seattle, after two more hours passed Portland lighthouse on a Columbia River and headed deeper into USA territory but over the city of Eugene they founded a fuel shortage and turned back to the Vancouver military airbase.[2] They landed on a Vancouver’s Pearson Airfield[3] (by the other sources – Barak Airfield[4]). The 9,130 km (5,673 mi) trip took 63 hours and 25 minutes. The ANT-25 gained fame after this flight. In 1975, an obelisk was erected on an airfield commemorating this event.”
Please!!!
No. But "Barack" might be.
