:applause:Wow! we landed at Quito SEQU, safe and sound, but I sure don't know how! The visibility on this whole flight was bad, and at times real bad! I guess what counts is that we made no foul or errors.

Thirty miles out and R/L power surged and I lost everything. We are having thunder showers and the power is popping off and on. Will try to re-do this flight tomorrow.
 
:salute:Hey, finally made it after the local (R/L) thunder things.

Landed at SETM down safe and sound, and again clear weather on approached. Just waiting for the local weather God to come down on us real heavy.

Hey Taco, was lookin at your last posts' pics and couldn't help noticing your fuel gauges. As a fellow C-82 flyer I can tell you I'm running with empty wing tanks and 50% in the mains for better performance, and ain't sweating the range. Best lighten up a bit for SPJB or you'll never get outta that hole. Might wanna leave 2 crewmen behind as well.

GL.

:salute:Hot dog! we got out of that hole SPHZ and landed at SPHZ.

A little tight coming out of SPHZ, we had full power up, and then released the brake, and it was still real slow start off. At 65kts I gave her a little back on the yoke we lifted just a little and then I yell or tried to yell about the roar of the engine "Dudey, Gear Up!" Ah, a little bounce and tuck sometimes does wonder.

:running: Sure glad the weather was good, flying through those canyon could have been a little tricky in bad weather. Still we cut some of those mountains a little close. we could have put down the gears and just coasted. hehe
 
:salute: Hey, we're off and running again. :running: Unloaded and reloaded for cargo from
SPHZ to SPNC.
