This will be an interesting flight, as La Paz lies at an altitude of 4,060 m or 13,300 ft. The plane is the Just Flight DC 8 and the trip has a length of around 3000 km or 1620 nm.

Nice scenic run.

How much runway did you have left in La Paz??:)

TTM

There was no real danger, TTM, as the runway is 4 km or 13,000 ft long ;)

Thanks Bernd, what a unique and different place!  Whenever I h=think of South America I think of elevation, it seems everything there is a very high elevation.

I have exactly the same impression, Jack ;)

Excellent series of views Bernd.

Great to see the DC-8 and suitably adorned.

Wonderful scenery with so many interesting and diverse locations.

Thanks Martyn, the DC 8 is a lovely plane. It's one of the reasons I stay with P3D 3.4, because many of my (freeware and payware) planes do not work in v4
