Subject: Post: <p>This day was pretty much spent at the airport. We went to the aeroclub at lunch time and met up with Eduardo, chatting and having our (very slowly served) lunch. Unfortunately Eduardo had to leave early due to family reasons, so the actual flying machines of today were downgraded a bit from his magnificent historical toys.</p><p>We took a flight on a six-seat Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six, which a local parachutist girl had just bought as her first aircraft, even if she did not even have the license to fly yet.. We had an ex-army pilot and instructor as the captain, and obviously he quickly noticed that I know how the thing works and let me fly the rest of the trip on the Piper. Well, one more aircraft type flown for me, and one more country. :)</p><p>We also met the helicopter guy, Rogelio at the airclub. He actually had found the boat we were searching for two weeks ago on the second searching run, and seems like it was kind of an important find. He had an aerial picture of the boat on the sea as his phone background photo, whatsapp profile photo and so on.. Well, he did good work out there. Everyone on the boat had been scared but safe, and he found the boat just a bit more far out than where we were searching for it.</p><p>The old (err, just more experienced as they said) guys were also telling us stories of the wartime in El Salvador. The civil war here ended in 1992, and all through the 12 year war Rogelio was flying helicopter, replacing power line poles blown up by the guerillas. He used to call to Eduardo "hey, let's go plant some poles, skip your work". :)</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
