TigerTigerM Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I have been reading about Aeroposta Argentina during its early days, in the 1920's & 30's. Fascinating stuff from their early flights as they established air mail routes within Argentina & beyond. Mendoza, Argentina to Santiago, Chile was a rather hair raising flight in those early days as they had to cross the Andes. The preferred aircraft was the Potez 25 with a reputed ceiling of 21,000' give or take. I haven't been able to find a P3D Potez 25. So that South American shots are valid for the Orbx forum I am using another Aeroposta aircraft of the time, the Latecoure 25. It is not a rocket ship & sounds like a Fordson Tractor . I doubt it would have made it over the Andes. The shots are from near Mendoza. TTM (P3D v4.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
