Now it was CAVOK at Cajabamba, and overcast at Huaraz.
Seems a front is goint through, and I'm flying along...
Sneaked through the valleys again.
Pity there were almost no veiws of the mountains. The Cordillera Blanca has some of the most amazing mountains of the world.

Sorry, Duenna didn't start. Had it set up for baton autopickup (no idea why it didn't autostart), but didn't check after stert whether it really was logging.
I've added screenshots of Load screen and flight analysis screens.
Hope that's ok.
Quite a flight. At Huaraz everything above 11000 ft was completely socked in.
To the south and east of the mountains weather was better though.
Took a big detour south to Laguna Conococha before crossing the mountains.
Still, the climb to the laguna through the clouds was pretty unnerving. There's a lot of granite around, and the DC-3 is not exactly climbing like a rocket at these altitudes.
Did something I've never done - used the small stream flowing out of the laguna through Huaraz for navigation. Actually I'm pretty thrilled about the Yahoo maps overlay for Google Earth - streams marked there are identic for FS9 default (at least where I've flown). (Regarding the roads, Yahoo maps has more roads than FS9 for Peru, but the subset displayed by fs9 is present in YM.)

7. Not the last time I'd be in clouds. Laguna Conococha.
8. And clouds again diving down the valley to Huanuco.
I'm served, thank you.

I wonder how you guys with heavier machines got out of Huanuco.
First getting out of that hole called an airport, then climbing at METO, and still the ground rising at the same speed as the plane.
And as icing on the top a nice load of clouds in the valleys.
Not comfortable.

Nice clear skies on the altiplano, but everything below 10000 ft in clouds.
Dove down the Chillon valley for the fun of it. Feeling your way along a valley through the clouds is much more fun going downhill, when there's the option for climbing out straight ahead, than uphill, with no option than clench the teeth, if I got myself into that situation.

Apart from having to climb back up through the overcast between 2000 and 10000 ft (I'm sure the organisers had a good chuckle working this out), great weather, beautiful flight.

Nice flight, beautiful views of Nevado Salcantay, no stress, that's how Papa likes it...
Cusco! We'll spend a few days here to visit the magnificent Inca architecture, explore the beautiful countryside, and maybe make a trip to Macchu Picchu.

Some severe turbulence + scattered clouds with quite some granite around made for an interesting flight.
