Asuncion Paraguay to Santa Cruz, Bolivia (SGAS - SLVR)












I have taken some liberties with this leg of the journey. At the time I was not able to identify any carrier between Paraguay and Bolivia that operated a Boeing 737-800 fleet. Instead I settled for operating a "Charter" on behalf of Amazonas who service both Asuncion and Viru Viru.

Sucre, Bolivia to Le Paz, El Alto Bolivia (SLSU - SLLP)






Le Paz

I had been hoping for a landing in a westerly direction, up onto the plateau that La Paz sits on, but unfortunately not. For once the weather was perfect. . .  for an easterly landing.

Saniago Chile to Asuncion Paraguay (SCEL - SGAS)




Asuncion

Its taken some time but I've finally arrived. It was not the plan to stop over in Santiago for as long as I did but to make as much progress back up into the North Americas as quickly as possible. Unfortunately FSX on my computer decided to have a crisis and finally give up the ghost. After a long delay, a new graphics card and a new flight platform (yes. . .  I am now on P3D, which is far far far more stable!!) I hope to get this around the world trip back on the road.

It would seem that after such a long hiatus, I have completely forgotten how to fly a 737 (or rather to land). So I have had to have a few practice runs (read . .  crash landing, go back to the start). Getting to grips with the PMDG 737 on P3D has been enjoyable and worth the effort of reloading all the FSX software
