- <p> The Flying Nun was fantasy, but in Los Angeles the airborne
- Archbishop is for real. To enable Roman Catholic Archbishop
- Roger Mahony to get around his three-county, 8,700-sq.-mi.
- archdiocese, anonymous businessmen have given him a $400,000
- jet-powered helicopter. Mahony is upgrading his pilot's license
- so he can fly it solo. Zinging along at 160 m.p.h., he can cut
- the travel time to the seminary at Camarillo to 15 minutes; by
- car it took up to 2 1/2 hours. Archdiocesan spokesmen insist
- the money has not been diverted from other purposes: the
- contributors are donating more than $1 million a year each to
- programs for the poor.
