VH-KDK Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 This flight is from Roatan in the Bay Islands to Toncontin Honduras. 1. Taking of from a very overcast Roatan which is part of Honduras. 2. French Harbour. 3. After flying in almost unbroken cloud the skies clear to reveal Pico Bonito, Honduras. With such mountains and bad weather I hope the flight planners have got it right. 4. 5. In the area of Calpules I encounter the heaviest rain I can remember in FS. 6. More rain and more mountains over the Montana de Yoro NP. 7. Descending into Toncontin. 8. The city of Tegucigalpa comes into view. 9. 10. Used every inch of the runway on landing. 11. Made it down in one piece ready to fly another day. Hope you enjoyed the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 You certainly do find some interesting areas to fly Martyn - always inspiring. By the way, what plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Kiwi Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Looks to me like a Virtualcol Saab 340. Certainly a Saab 340 of some sort. Super shots, in any case., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super shots, in any case., Sure is, one of my favourites. Used to fly the REX 340s quite often from Mildura to Melbourne and sometimes onto Tassie.

Stillwater Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Great & dangerous region to fly in, Martyn. Despite the good demonstration of IFR skills you give us an idea of OpenLC´s future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Colbert Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 A great trip report and shots Martyn, I love the narrative and how you fly in places I'd never dream of. Glad you landed safely, a white knuckles trip! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will come later. On 27/02/2016 at 10:35 PM, antonvs said: Great shots and a good adventure to follow, thanks again Martyn. Cheers Anton.
