Stillwater Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I am not sure if I can convince my instructor to have this music on the headsets during this flight.. ... but at least I got the PC-21 in the air tonight. Getting out of Canaima... .. over the Auyan Tepui tablelands... ... and across Lago Guri... ... to Ciudad Guayana, where we meet the Orinoco river, the fourth largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. Here we reach the enormous delta of the river. It was discovered by a sailor named Christobal Colon - whilst the source of the river remained unknown until 1951. Hopping north to the caribic island of Trinidad... ... and into Port of Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 An interesting exploratory flight here Gerold. Nice choice of aircraft too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 When I saw the title I knew there would have to be a reference to Enya, and I didn't have to wait for long. Excellent images Gerold and some interesting information . What amazed me was that the source wasn't discovered until 1951. There must be countless other things waiting to be discovered in this part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Kealy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Quality from Stillwater as always. It's a great part of the world. I flew out of Canaima in real life to Ciudad Bolivar some years ago on Avensa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wonderful shots, Gerold. I didn't know that this song was called Orinoco flow. You never learn enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to get the PC-21 started (easily), with a flightplan loaded (also easy) - and even the autopilot working (not so obvious). 2 hours ago, jotaedo said: nice plane, the Americas has so much to offer...

Daz Kealy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Stillwater, I apologise for my previous post being a bit short on detail. It was 1991 or 1992 and me and 2 friends flew down from Caracas for a couple of days. We just did the standard flyby of the falls in a Cessna- still to this day my only trip in a GA aircraft, but what a place to have such a trip. Flying over the tepuis was amazing. Then we headed back via Ciudad Bolivar, enjoying a night on the Orinoco River and a few cool Polar beers. I would have loved the alternative of the 5 day walk to the falls but it truly is a "lost world" but magical to even experience it the way we did. Have you been?
