Tucked away in a niche in the western most portion of Vatican City is this, the official heliport used by the Pope. Pope Benedict XVI has a pilot’s license, and actually flew the papal helicopter from the Vatican to the summer residence in Castel Gondolfo, but, since he didn’t hold a driver’s license, would need to be transported to and from the helipads by his drivers.
Those whom the Pope blessed on his way over their heads included:
- Eloy Cano
- Phil Ower
- Paul Voestermans
- Ben S
- steve willis
- Steve J
- Garfield
- ArnoudS
- mehmet durmus
- Dackelz.HP
- Cloudspotter
- ndrqu
- Lighthouse
And those who had to settle for a glimpse of his tail lights (after the hint):
- Max Power
