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!

'Altiplano' not a vain word!

A great landmark signaling the beginning of our descent!

Hi Gérard!

Great to see your new business! Man thats a very nice livery, love the airline name, could be used for real!...You are right, La Paz "El Alto" airport is an amazing place..Im looking at the ILS approach plate, and the DH is 13420 feet..hmmm in unpressurized airplanes you should use oxygen right from the taxi to the active hahahahahaha! :+ That looks like a promising business..If you need help just scream for it hehe...Great to have you in South America amigo

Best Regards,

Hi! Thanks for the kind comments. And especially those by Carlos, the hemisphere of who it is :-). Much honored to be let in there!

As far as the use of 'Andean Airlines' is concerned, let's say that you might use it the case needed (and, of course, should the benefits exceed a certain range, we could discuss of how much to you, and how much to me ;-))

Well, I'm now going to continue to tune the craft and keep on flying, as I surely will post soon

See you all, and take care!
