Next day I continued with leg 29 to Santiago Los Cerrilos (SCTI) in an aircraft I'd forgotten I had! I found thids on a backup drive - the Skysim Mirage, in this case a Pantera CN..

After an hour, Los Cerillos came into sight

This is a tricky beast to land, with an approach speed of 185 knots and touchdown at 170!!

Hi Steve.

Very nice pictures once more and some very interesting aircrafts on these legs. Two classic military jets. I am glad you found the Mirage derivate on your backup drive Dance3

Well, relaxing on that crowded beach has something of an adventure Biggrin
