OK, NW_Pilot, I want to be you when I grow up. Unfortunately, I'm 56
already. I envy your spirit of adventure.

Do you speak the languages of the countries you fly to/over? If not,
how much hassle is it to make arrangements and deal with the issues
that frequently occur when flying (mechanical issues, fuel availability
problems, sudden illness like food poisoning)? How about dealing with
law enforcement and government functionaries? I know they can sometimes
be arrogant and power-crazy in some of latin american countries (well,
I guess in this country, too, sometimes...). Have you had any dangerous
encounters?

The above are taken care of by "handlers". There are a couple of
companies in the United States that, for a fee, will take care of all
the arrangements you would require for such a trip. Many corporate
flight departments routinely contract for these services when their
aircraft travel outside the United States.
Universal is one such company...

If you notice the routing I will be in Mexico depart Tapachula, MEX stay on
A317 Airway to Managua where the customer will have a boned hanger waiting.
Should be a really nice flight.
