Is it CHC by chance?
CHC is a little further south. Not by much though. It's actually Paysandu, Uruguay (SUPU). Middle of nowhere. We took our Lear 45 down there for a few days then over to Córdoba, Argentina (SACO) for a few more. Round trip from SoCal it was roughly 11,500 miles. We did it in 27.7 hours. Furthest south I've ever been. It took us two days each direction. It was a challenge planning that type of trip, but rewarding when it was all done.

Poop. lol Missed it.

Sounds like a great (albeit long as hell) trip. Did you get to play a round and have some good food?

It wasn't really the food but the Malbec. My god that stuff is good. Though we did have enough red meat to last us a while. It was a long as hell trip but like I said, glad we did it. It was a very good learning experience.
 
Great pics! The circuit breaker pic reminds me of some failure (master caution on the ground) I can't remember. We both had to pop 3-4 breakers on each side on the 200. Forget what it was but it happened a lot.

Sounds like the reset for the Spoiler Fault message :)

Back in the day, hauling freight north, we were landing in LRD right as the competition was leaving. We cleared customs, fueled up, and blasted out of southern Texas. Our Super 27 out-climbed their regular bird and eventually passed them 2000 ft above.

The small uncontrolled airport barely had space for one 727, let alone two. With us shutting down on the only ramp space available, the other guys just landing were forced to park on a taxiway. Blindly following the best marshaller that Kentucky has to offer, the competition ended up having to spend the night.

Malbec is great for roasting chicken, in paella and even in cooked/sauteed fruit deserts. It makes a helluva sangria too. Start experimenting, there are many varieties out there now. Glad you had a good time!

Shame on you!!! Don't you realize how reckless, dangerous and what a threat to all the little GA planes that damn beast is?? Oh and there are too many of them and they cost too much too! Bejebus no one cares about the civilians!

Great pic!

That last pic of the circut breaker panel looks awesome @Cal Goat

@Cal Goat I don't know what it is about CB's, but they always make a fine picture.

I must say it's one of the few aesthetic parts of the CRJ cockpit I really like. I'm a fan of the ambient light the CB panel makes at night. It's always slightly a bummer flying with those few captains who like to keep the panel lights off at night.
 
The drilling season is about to start up, so Dutch Harbor is a flurry of activity. Including this awesome bumblebee ship. I got to buzz it the other night landing 31 in Dutch.

@ASpilot2be

Hey Alec, I read online that this massive mother was hauled up there a few weeks ago. It's supposed to be the port for a hub as part of an exploratory Arctic drilling program. Did you see it by chance? They were supposedly still waiting approval from the the Feds to send it and it's support ships up north through the Bering Strait. I think it's Shell's.
