Castel Gandolfo, summer residence of the Popes, is the scene of another historic first in the precedent-shattering pontificate of Pope Paul Sixth. He becomes the first Pontiff to fly in a helicopter as he travels 70 miles to the North to officiate at religious rites. As Pope, he has flown in jets, as a Cardinal he flew in a helicopter - but he now becomes the central figure in another first at the Vatican. Over all view of Castel Gondolfo.
