Didn't find Cuzcotopia...
But did run into a talking llama... quite ascerbic if not astute and entertaining.
... decided to take off at night as terrain (according to the map) is relatively flat... and with such a high density altitude, hoping to take advantage of the cooler air.
At 16,000... every once in a while I see the VME come alive and start creeping downward to the hundreds of feet AGL. One hand on the autopilot disconnect, the other on the stick ready to yank and bank.
What a "trip" that was! Lost the Cuzco VOR about 35 odd minutes into the trip... so it was truly dead reckoning the rest of the way until seeing certain recognizable points on the ground.
First point then was the unmistakable VASI at Juliaca Airport. So I know I am close to Puno (in fact I have seen the city's lights for much of the trip) then the lakes NW of PUNA (dang a little east of course... make some corrections).
Since I haven't been here before, trying to get a picture in my mind where it should be (NW of the city, W of the "mini-peninsula"). LOP from Juliaca VOR is indicating I am very close! I should have seen it miles ago! Where is the nutty thing?!?!
Then I see it... barely. Hahahahahahahaha it's a dirt runway! Dang ACES care to make it any darker? Maybe a little camo to blot it out completely?
And I am a wee bit high at the approach end of 12... so instead of entering a left downwind for 30, I decided I'll just do a right 360 to lose the altitude.
All worked out well in the end.

Knuckleheaded... had the Duenna on and decided to Slew backwards for a bit more takeoff run (rather than taxiing) and the Duenna gigged me. :redf:
"Giggled" is equally appropriate.
A charmingly innovative non-event (scoring-wise).

Thanks Mike...
Thing is I have done this at least once during "testing" so I was verywhen this happened.

With this phenomenal Wx, co-located airport & navaid and mega-runway lengths flying to places like Cochabamba at Night are very tempting (because of temp drop).

Scooting to "Salsa" to keep ahead of the General (the Blue & White DC-3)
Got word of a even faster craft (DC-4 maybe?) heading my way, so would be wise to keep dillydally out of the tally.

phew!
Nearly killed myself on takeoff at SCCF...
After takeoff, noticed Duenna not tracking on the server so just did a quick reset back to the airport (World > Go to airport)...
During the takeoff run plane swung to the left and tried to rotate early... initially didn't realize the autopilot was on... then tried to "overpower" the autopilot (instead of thinking to disengage it) and pulled off power to the right engine (stop the left yaw) which helped... terrifying couple of moments.
Been great following your progress Rob . Congratulations . Had alot of fun
