Santa Cruz, Bolivia to Sucre, Bolivia (SLVR - SLSU)


Sucre

Wow!! I'm going to have to rave about this airport. The touch down onto the start of the runway is in the bottom of the valley with the terminal at the top. The approach meant that I had to skirt the top of the surrounding mountains, drop in the valley for the sloped runway. This goes down as my first landing on what can only be described as one of the worlds "most difficult and dangerous" Airports. This scenery by LatinVFR of Sucre is incredible, along with the slopping runway.

It's probably fair to say that this leg took more than a few "practice runs" and "go around" before nailing it. Definitely worth the detour!!
