Hi!
After some hesitation during a while about whether I was going to keep on flying in Norway, I eventually decided to change the location and the job! I'm now flying in Bolivia, from a city East of the country. I'm trying to stick the closer I can to reality, flying a Boeing 737-200 on the local, domestic and international roads. A bit too much South to be able to reach Venezuela though ;-). Hope Senor Carlos won't bother in any case I come in the hemisphere :-)
Well. Here are the first pictures of a early morning trip to La Paz. Amazing. This airport is at about 13,000 ft of altitude, as such words like 'altiplano' and such are not vain about that country. Not much above the terrain at a FL300! LOL
On another hand -not wanting to boast myself- I'm relatively satisfied of the repaint I made of that aircraft (a purely fictional airline of mine :-)). The VC however is relatively poor. But anyway, it seems worth flying (and in any case, don't try to get the paints from me. I'm still FS2002 ;-))
More to come!

Level at FL300 as the Andes are cloud-capped

'Altiplano' not a vain word!

A great landmark signaling the beginning of our descent!
