A little suggestion for EHM VA's 10th Anniversary
« on: March 08, 2011, 09:42:55 am »
Two men are walking the Amazon River…    :P

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/295875

Why not flying Amazon’s river from the most distant source of the Amazon
(The Amazon originates from the Apacheta cliff in Arequipa at the Nevado Mismi)

And of course with EHM colors?  ::)

A suggestion like Tour of the Danube, but in the longest river of the world as National Geographic said:

Thanks for your comments :)

That sounds like a good idea for a tour, and you seem to have done the work picking out the airfields already.

Which aircraft do you envision allowable for this tour?

I'll leave Dom to take a closer look at this as I'm not the best for spotting airspace restriction problems etc, but looks like a good idea good to me.

I'm not sure with the aircraft but could be like the Portuguese MixTour, I mean Beech1900D and/or F-70, by the way I forgot the Google earth file. I'll send in attach and thanks for your comments Alex :)

Very nice idea, David!

Dom will have to have a look how it fits in his plans for this year, so I'm not going to say it's going to happen right here and now. But you have my vote!
Maybe even something for a PP event, Dom?

Hi David,

Thanks very much for submitting your idea - it looks like a really exciting route (and what an amazing walk!!) ;)

At the moment, expansion into South America is planned for the second half of this year but let me have a proper look at your route and I'll come back to you about how and when we can introduce this, ok?

Good work  :)

Well done David!

I realize that EHM and Dom in particular have been looking at South America for some time and your suggestion
may get some of our Pilots on board for your suggested Tour.

Having flown in South America to some extent, it is great on scenery and your selection of Airports will enhance
any further work Dom may have to complete.

Again, well thought out and thank you

Dan
