Have a great time in Peru.

If you end up having a few cold ones with the locals, don't drink from the
bottle. They'll hand you a glass in a minute.

NW_pilot;
Did you ever get any more information about the G1000 issues you wrote
up on your ferry flight?

I attended a presentation by a pilot who ferried a PA28 from the US to
South Africa back in the '80's. At the time, there were the usual civil
wars across Africa. He was unfortunate enough to get shot down over
Angola and spent some time in a rebel military prison. Some of his
fellow inmates were mercenaries. The most interesting part of his talk
was about food aversions. It seems the only things to eat where those
that you could catch. Rats were plentiful, but one fellow just could not
bring himself to eat them.

Would you route through Azores for that flight?

That rings a bell. I used to live at Lajes back in the early 60's. Beautiful
place. My dad was flying air rescue looking for guys like NW_Pilot who might
have had problems ferrying aircraft across.

57th Air Rescue Squadron, Lajes Field, Teciera Island, Azores, Portugal. Them
were the days.

That's what I'd be afraid of.

Have you got any good firsthand accounts of interesting missions from
those days you'd care to share with the group?

Twasn't me flying the missions... it was my dad. As luck would have it, he's
arriving here tonight on his way back from the Left Coast. I'll ask him.
