My second day running the Amazon. Started near the headwaters at SPQT. The Amazon is nothing like what you see in movies and TV. They always show it as dark, narrow, tree covered and gloomy. Some of the small feeder rivers may be, but certainly not Amazon. In many places it appears to be a mile wide or more. Have to be careful. Cruising ALT was set at 700, but I was flying at 400’ AGL and less most of the time over land.
