One summer day, while flying his biplane just north of Ferris, Illinois, Richard Bach sees an old Travel Air 4000, so he touches down, and meets Shimoda for the very first time. Richard Bach is a disillusioned writer, and a barnstormer, also selling 10-minute helicopter rides for $3.00. Shimoda’s aircraft of choice is a gold and white Travel Air 4000 biplane. Shimoda gets tired of this way of living, so he quits his lifestyle as a religious leader, reinventing himself as a barnstormer, who travels across the United States, selling 10-minute helicopter rides for $3.00. People can touch him and be healed, he walks on water, crowds of people flock to him, and someone shoots (crucifies) him for his beliefs and he rises again.
