C-46 in Quito!!!

[Peer]

This is the last part of my C-46 trip in Ecuador so far.
It's only a small hop from Cotopaxi to Quito, but is was a VFR one with bad visability and strong winds.

ATC: BAD ! but we made a promise....

ATC was right, carefully following the valley, hopefully the right one to Quito. Wet hands!!!

Pete, buddy, thanks for your very kind comment (as usual)
If I had the money I would buy me a C-46!

Like an old but gentle lady, little heavier and faster than a
DC-3. The plane has a pressurised cabin so it flies well in thin air.
Cruising speed about 160 kts.

Great shots, as usual, Jan. Very dramatic clouds and lighting to really put the spotlight on your fine plane.
