Funny you should ask... I have been down here for about 5 weeks now, flying around in Peru and Bolivia. For starters, GA is virtually non-existent. Nav charges are outragous. The scenery is awesome. Food is OK (got sick off Chifa a few times)

Getting a weather briefing is done by calling the home office and having someone check a sat photo for you, as well as tafs etc. All forms are filled out in triplicate at least (like in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).

gotta run for now... think of some more specific questions and ill be happy to try to answer.

Never thought that I would be so happy to talk to a controler with a Texas drawl as I was when I checked in with Houston Center when we came home on Friday.

I can dig it. I'm back in my jammies and living large in my dwelling after a week in a hotel in MEM...driving through Saint Louis yesterday made me the most glad to be home.

I bet my friend can't wait to get back to Peru, either.

MEM? Did you go to Corky's or Rendezvous for the ribs and B. B. King's for the blues?:beer:

Go to Chile often and Fuji was just caught there in Santiago. Took a charter and was filming in the AC while overflying Chile. Somehow got through chilean security. South america is the great undiscovered frontier.

Peru, one word, MIRAFLORES

No, when you're by yourself, anything that will make a good turd will do for a meal...the faster, the better.

I had some good beers and what not back at the room. The other 4 guys in recurrency were banking their perdiem and eating the free buffet crap back at the hotel, so going out was not a real option.

It's kind of depressing, but back in the 'old days' I would have grabbed a cab and checked out the night life solo, but now days I got no urge to wander about strange towns by myself.

I'm sure there are some guys living in Peru. I mean with Grissom right there, I can't believe ALL the KC-135 crews live in Kokomo.TC

I spent a few months in Bolivia flying for LLyod Aero Boliviano (LAB) it was one of the best jobs, and the experience was incredible especially for a single guy, made my UAL furlough go by pretty fast!

I would jump at the chance to fly in South America agian! In fact I will be heading south again with UAL.
