| SPIM to SLLP (Feb 26th, 2009) Lima, Peru to La Paz, Chile Clearly the new spectacles are not working. What the heck is going on? Guess I'm just going to have to work it out. I ate a huge bowl of Lima beans. I heard an ancient Lima remedy for eye problems. Talk about your bland meal. Good god....get me some water! Off to the highest airport on my tour....La Paz at 13313 feet elevation - El Alto International.   
A few LAN liveries and a 737 on final. Waiting patiently. Cool looking high country.
  
One of the highest lakes in the world - Lake Titcaca. Oh crap....scraping the right side engines....Will Smitty notice?
Landing Score:36.70 Flight Score:152.98
Landing included the following problems: (Well what didn't Smitty miss?) - Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
- Wings not level - danger of clipping the ground or damaging your gear. (Damn he caught it)
- Glideslope lost before you touched down - not your best effort.
- Not near the centre line - you can do better.
- Without spoilers armed - arm them before landing.
- Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.

| SLLP to SCDA (March 1st, 2009) La Paz, Chile to Iquique Chile is so gosh darn long and skinny, that I'm breaking up the length with a couple short flights. I'm deperate for a good landing score. I'm trying anything at this point. Changing up the sponsorship airplane. UPS requested a pilot to fly a few containers of high altitude water to the low country and breed upper altitude fish water with low country water.
Say what? LOL. Hey I just fly the routes....   
Can't really tell, but it's pouring down rain. Snow capped mountains.
  
Banking onto final....cool looking mountains and waters. Good God...Is it ever gonna get better? Took up took much runway. Thanks Smitty...way to ruin my spirits.
Landing Score:13.94 Flight Score:149.59 (Thank goodness for good flight scores)

| SCDA to SCFA (March 1st, 2009) Iquique, Chile to Antofagasta, Chile Liked the name, so I decided to fly there. Period. Let's see....last three scores 57.60, 36.70, and 13.94. Can it get any worse? Errr....stay tuned.   
Pulling out all strings now, backed off to a CRJ-700. Surely I can land one of these things?
  
Flying south down the coastline of Chile, turning nicely, come on Smitty....bring it on....
Landing Score:0.00 Flight Score:125.42 (JoeMini sits silently dejected in cockpit...where's that steak knife I saw?)
Landing was successful in the following areas: - Distance from touchdown target (visual approach): 843 feet

| SCEL to SABE (March 10th, 2009) Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina Well real world stuff came about this week, so I had to take a week off before heading to my next destination - Buenos Aires. Still feeling a little cocky about my last score, I decided to break out the 747 and go for huge numbers. Prolly will be a mistake, but will see.   
Lot's of LAN's in the backdrop, and the mountain ranges look awesome.
  
Once I made it over the mountains, nothing but flat lands.
  
Sheez, talk about negotiating between the buildings...Suppose the people living there just love the noise? Sheez. And as usual, way off the marks again, but thank goodness for flight scores....
Landing Score:53.00 Flight Score:161.32

| SBGR to SBGL (March 13th, 2009) Sao Paulo, Brazil to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Well the weather was crappy so my time spent in Sao Paulo was cut short...I need sunshine and I need to try on my new swimming suit on the beaches or Rio...so off we go.   
Varig Log - The official Logging airliner of the woods? I hear they haul logs? Small Embraer commuter landing.
  
Later crappy weather, hello Rio
  
Look at those blue waters...dang...off again. What's with all these ticket booths? Yes I'd like a ticket to gate A-13.
Landing Score:120.65 Flight Score:145.22

| SBGL to SBBR (March 18th, 2009) Rio De Janeiro, Brazil to Brasilia, Brazil Well was I the hit of the party in Rio. Sporting my new thong speedo's, I was stared at by all. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I was wearing them backwards...oops. Did I say too much? Had a fantastic time and will miss all the babes hanging on me. Almost felt like a rock star. My speedo's will be available on E-bay soon!   
Looking back at Rio. Look at those water colors.
  
I don't get it. Smitty talked to me the whole time...had ILS...yet I think the software hiccuped. Ruined a good Flight Score. What's another zero?
Landing Score:0.00 Flight Score:166.72
