:salute: Here we go, starting our downwind into Maracaibo (SVMC). Will be, as some of the other pilots, delaying our departure for Bocono (SVBK) due to maintenance problems (R/L computer) should be on our way soon.

Hey PRB, not to worry, we sure will pick up the crate of chickens, Our engineer and loadmaster, who we picked up in Mexico, stated we just might have some fired chichen on the way south! I wonder what they were bringing that BBQ on board for.

RGR on the BBQ chicken. Maybe you can open the back doors on the way to let the smoke out. Wouldn't want Dudley to get "CO" poisening on the first leg!
 
@%$^$# Unable to complete the flight between SVMC/SVBK, computer is still giving me problems. On the Flight it CTD even trying to rerun the flight same problem. I tried flying at different time, different a/c same problem.

I think, and hope, I have part of the problem corrected. So far more ctd, but still have some minor ones that shouldn't cause any problems while fllying. So in the short of it. should be back in the air soon.

With the help of the some locals and our crew we have the Old 82 ready for a go.

By the way PRB, no BBQ chicken as yet, but a few of those hens have been laying some eggs, and it turns out the Juan, our loadmaster is one heck of a good cook, so we have been having some super meals.

We have been planning on by passing SVMD (Merida), but someone came up with some real big, big problems in Merida and they need these supplys that have been setting here at Bocono for sometime. And being the money grubbing Gingo that we are, now we are going to Merida.

Hey there, well we got the cargo unloaded and the new cargo loaded for SKBG, Some times I wonder what the heck is all this stuff we are moving! Sure can't get a answer from some of the local, you know "no speakie englash" or such, but what the heck as long as we are getting, you know "show me the money"

Landed at SKBG:


Finally, finally I was able to finish this flight, after computer issue etc, The weather was fearful for the whole flight. We were unable to see the darn airport even with their lights on. Circled a couple of times and then finally dropped down to around 200 feet and then we were finally able to see the airport. Make a carrier type landing, but we got down OK.

With our normal luck the haze settled in just about the time we started down into Bogota. We had some uniform types surround the plane just as we stopped at the cargo area. We were required to stay in the cockpit until the unloading was complete. Now this is a real bummer! Anyway, they completed the unloading and said thanks, and see you all later, sure don't understand that. Shucks, maybe that LT. is going to buy us a beer. Hehe.

:salute:Landed at SKMZ, the weather was questionable for most of the flight, but thanks to the local weather god it cleared up as we were making our approach into runway #27. As some of the other pilots noted, we sure smoked the brakes! Our loadmaster mentioned that he had a lot of relatives here, and we should plan on a little R&R here, plenty of good food and some very nice company from his unmarried female relatives. Oops, I think we better move on his suggestion could prove to be.......well, you know. We are going to need to refuel here the tanks are getting a little on the lean side.


As noted: landed safe and sound at SKMZ.

Howdy folks,

Down and safe at SKPI

Sure having a lot of flight 19s weather, clouds hiding all those over grown mole hills, fog on approach. Shucks, dropped down to tree tops and then still almost missed the airport because of low Vis.. But we landed safe and sound.
