North to South 22 - Gatwicksteve - 08-20-2012
Continuing my trip through Mexico I tried to find an appropriate aircraft - this freeware (ex pay) PC9 of the FAM fitted the bill!
So it's off to MMIT (Ixtapec on the southern coast)

Time to play with a few aerobatics enroute

And back to the navigation!

The seafog was rolling in at Ixtapec

How it looks on a clear day

and how I found it

Parked up

Unlike many of my stops, Ixtapec is not a tourist destination - it's best known for the wave of immigrants from Central and South America who use some dangerous methods to get here

Next leg takes me to San Salvador, in the A10 again - I flew the leg this morning and will get the pictures up soon.

PS, thanks for the headsup on the F15E Christian - I'll have a look when I can, though I've just got the Just Flight EE Lightning as well so funds are stretched!!

Hi Steve.
Another very interesting report with another very nice aircraft. A PC-9 would have been the perfect aircraft for some MP flights in Europe in the past, but the FW-190D9 and F-18E weren't bad either.

What did you find? A rectangle without trees in no man's land?
Waiting for the next report and yes, that F-15E might be worth the money. Especially if it is reduced as low as it is now!
