Peru? Any pilots live there, fly there?

[JoeMhama]

hmmmm...I think ive found my way out of the CFI gig once and for all : )

I was born in Peru, and have an expired Peruvian passport. Do I have dual citizenship I wonder....And Ive got the mins for a slot down there. Yes!! Now if I could only speak spanish...

If you were born in Peru, then you can most likely reapply for your passport. There is a legal term for it, but basically, by right of birth, you have the right of citizenship.

If a Japanese (?) born guy can become Presidente there, I don't think they have a problem with handing out passports after the "proper process" is followed.

The US for a while until recently, used to make you 'denounce' your citizenship before becoming a US citizen. You need a US passport to enter the States, however there is nothing that says you cannot possess a passport from another country....ie US doesn't recognise dual citizenship, with the exception of Israel. That's going to be my situation, soon.

I'm bored on any night...I been married for 14 years dude, cut me some slack.

I have met a fellow aviator that is in his initial Caravan training and he's flying in Peru. An older dude, just like myself, a Peruvian national.

He let me download his photos off of his USB storage and his secretary is phenomenal.

My wife would let us move down there if we knew more about the country and the people, just so long as I had a phenomenal secretary, so quit making wise acre remarks.

FN FAL,

I've been married for 20 years, so I think I've got you on the boredom thing.:laugh:

Just got back from a 3 day stay in Bogota. The women were unbelievable! If you didn't like the one you were looking at, wait ten seconds, because the one right behind her was better looking anyways. The women down there check out the guys just as much as the guys check out the girls. I was checking out one young lady and she saw me doing it so she started checking me out, right in front of the guy she was having dinner with. The women won't break eye contact with you until you do.

Saw lots of American pilots and American registered airplanes while I was there. Many caravans down there, and I bet they don't get much ice while flying around Columbia , but you do need to learn how to dodge bullets .

Thanks for the insightful reply. I met a caravan pilot going through his initial captain training, he didn't speak much English but we enjoyed many meals together. We were still able to find a common bond...we're both paracadistas and Caravan pilots.

Obviously, I'm only joshing about going down to Peru. If was 27-39 and single, I'd investigate going down there...but for me now something like that is just a romantic notion. I'd love to vist there though.

I have kept my pet around going on 11 years this June! All my other friends have had their pets stolen, taken away, or they run away & then come back and take their home & pay check. I lucked out and got one that was at the pound "foster home" but she duped me in to keeping her forever when she was 17 I was 18. We have spawned a healthy boy he is turning 10 in april.

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.
