The rotor's thrum arrives before the machine does: a low, insistent hum that promises a new line of sight over northern Buenos Aires. Climbing out of a small hangar you rise above San Fernando's riverside houses; below, the Luján River unspools like a ribbon daring you to follow. In eighteen minutes a Robinson R44 will carry a party of up to three passengers and a pilot over the maze of channels and green islets that form the Paraná Delta.
