Now that's a destination - (10 images) - Guest - 09-04-2007 I am still flying training flights for ASHA and I am now in South America practicing high altitude takeoff's and landings. I reckon this has to rate as my most enjoyable flight yet for AS, you can see the details here http://www.air-source.us/operations/ash ... TID=137362 Here I am departing SASQ and climbing to 2ooooft. Now entering cruise level Cruising at 2ooooft @ 180kts Having circled over Potosi @ 18oooft to get an idea of the layout of the highground, the weather suddenly clears enough for me to head down safely. Now decsending towards SLPO, I have lowered the flaps and gear to help keep the speed down at this altitude. Having flown a teardrop like maneuver I now turn back towards the airfield. The high land behind me stopped me performing a full teardrop maneuver, but here you can see I still managed to safely turn back towards the final. Slowly turning to line up on final. All lined up and, watching my speed I headed in to land. And here I am safely down. As you can see, the combination of high ground and weather make for a spectacular destination - ASHA flying really is different to flying the commercial flights.
