Leg #15 from Panama via Colombia and Venezuela to St. George, Grenada MPTO-TGPY
December 5, 2014
Another day, another flight but this time one of our longer flights of 1.113 Nm or 4,7 hours. The departure went alright, in spite of the hot temperature since the airport was at sea level.
No 5 for departure at Panama MPTO
after DEP maintaining 4000 ft on Heading 090° for spacing
Then we crossed some difficult weather and thereafter Colombia (where I knew Silvio Montoya Velasquez should be now) and Venezuela with relatively good weather.
difficult weather – a lot of CB activity – many deviations to avoid weather
snow mountain in Colombia
finally nice weather over Venezuela
Then our approach to Grenada.

Just when we stepped into our taxi, I did see Chris Jago who must have landed practically at the same time with BA from London. We would see him the next day so we confirmed our plans.
We proceeded to hotel La Luna. It was the second time LUNA was in the picture on this trip. Remember the Custom Officer called Luna at Tucson, Arizona?
Tomorrow about our stay in and around Grenada.

Have a safe flight! m
Sorry you will just miss the first boats in on the inaugural RORC/IMA Transatantic Race. I do not think they will get to Grenada until 11 Dec at the earliest. I am going out on the 18th for Prizegiving on 20th. I look forward to seeing Chris Jago then.
