    Pretty poor visibility - thought I was probably coming down in the wrong valley then spotted the airflied off to my left. Standard left downwind join then and dropped it neatly over the ridge with a curved approach on final!

    Err.. forgot to reset time - it's about one day and one hour out. Still real weather though. Is that OK?

    Camoe overhead hot and high, had to go around but nice landing eventually.

    Arrived SKBO. Once again I forgot to reset the system time after my last flight, paid the penalty by having to land in the dark - good thing this field is well lit!

    I've done that a number of times in past events. Glad you had a lighted runway.

    Sorry, typo in the last post, too late to edit.

    I actually arrived at SERB as declared at departure and verified by Duenna.

    Arrived at SETM - one of those places that comes into view over a ridge and you have to drop down between the mountains - wouldn't fancy that in IMC!

    Mick;
    Wait till you jet to "Some Peanut Butter & Jelly" (SPBJ).. I flew a heading straight for the air strip.. I'm straining my eyes, looking for an airport... Just as I crossed over a "ridge", I noticed that the airport was four thousand feet straight down!! Made for a helluva fast approach speed ;-}
