Departure: Bolivia

The key is the lowest altitude possible, not any specific airport/strip.

The Bolivian airport Teniente_Jorge_Henrich_Arauz is at five hundred and nine feet above sea level. If you cross the border at Puerto Heath you will be flying up the Rio Madre de Dios towards Puerto Maldonado airport at six hundred feet above sea level.


Low enough? :-)

Just west of the Bolivian border, to the north, is Puerto Maldonado, 600FT above sea level. That area is just about the lowest between the two countries. Stealthy mission??

Hi Gary wondering if you or someone on here could help me find this aeroplane and operator? Formerly P2 MFN operated in PNG was sold in to South America through an Alaskan broker. It's sister aircraft came to Bolivia and registered as CP 2978. If someone could give me some info re the operators of these 2 planes or which operator has bought up a number of 206's s in Bolivia in the last 5 years or some maintenance facility that may have been servicing them that would be much appreciated, thank you.
