April in Miami



I know it's been a while since the last post, so I want to catch up. Last month I flew out of Miami down to various different cities in South America. In Miami we stayed on Miami Beach at the Sherry Fontenac. It would be very hard to complain about this duty. The only problem with flying out to Miami is that there really isn't a schedule (well there is one but it changes about five times a day). When I wasn't on the beach I flew with Russ Novotney and Jim Davis to Bogota, Columbia, Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru.
Most of our flying was done at night, so we didn't see all the giant mountains we were flying in-between. Flying in South America is some of the most challenging flying I've every done. Jim and Russ were a great help!
Jim Davis is now one of 34 World pilots on furlough. I hope he is back in the air where he belongs soon.


I love to be on the beach at night. On one of the unusual day light flights, we flew over the Panama Canal. This is the Atlantic side.

Another sunrise over the Caribbean Sea.
