High mountain flying & landings

BOLIVIA - Avion Pirata

Just came back from Bolivia, where you can still see old props, not necessarily in flying condition (C-46, C-47, C-131, DC-4, DC-6, Electra etc) at SLLP/La Paz/El Alto (Bing map, Azure kills them off unfortunately):

In Santa Cruz you find that Connie on display with an interesting story (a sad one for the hapless Mustang pilot, multi-player stuff…):

Two PLNs of these Yankee smugglers in their heydays - with great views of the Andes and some difficult landings:

I use the DC-6 as I wait for the Redwing Constellation to mature…
