Journal Notes
- I was amazed at the Panama Canal locks in the scenery... brilliant!
- Flying in mountains is always interesting, in a 'don't hit that rock in the clouds' kind of interesting.
- Columbian Customs asked if I had any drugs when I arrived and I said "no, that's why I'm here silly". Columbian Customs Officers have very rough hands and there is a shortage of rubber gloves.
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "great shape".
- In RW, beautiful sunny day! But we deserve it after 65cm of snow two days ago.
