Cool

Every country with bush flying has its own unique "interesting approaches", I used to fly in Venezuela in the "minas" that is the mines in jungle and I used to land in places where I am ashamed now to even tell about them; some were more like jeep trails in the middle of the amazon rain forrest, but..

In the other hand there is a a particular airport that is in the city of Merida, SVMD that is 5000 ft hight and 5350 ft long with an 5.7% slope, and there was a company who used to fly in with 727. I forgot to tell tha it was in the middle of a valley in the Andes mountains that go as high as 16000 ft in the surroundings!
