FlightNight March 2nd - Back to Ecuador!
We'll meet at 8 pm London time at ICAO: SERB - Chimborazo Airport in Riobamba. Ecuador. Please bring the chopper of your choice from the FGUK Hangars that can attain 20K' and maintain 100 KIAS for an hour. We'll depart Chimborazo and fly a course heading of about 140 degrees until we reach the volcano Volcan Sangay, home of the infamous "VooDoo's Crack".
After observing the volcano we will turn to approx. 350 degrees and fly to Volcan El Altar in hopes that we can observe a spectacular lake within the exploded crater. I'm hoping the lake is now represented via Orthographic Scenery. We'll then continue North past significant terrain and volcanos and land at ICAO: SEAM - Chachoan Airport in Ambato, Ecuador for our midpoint refresh and refuel. The airport is at 8000+ feet!
When refreshed and refueled we will depart northish up the valley and overfly SELT, SEQM, and finally land at ICAO:SEQU - Mariscal Sucre Airport in Mariscal
Comms on TeamSpeak as always.
Route Manager fil is only for gathering scenery.
Hope to ya'll there and I'm hoping our resident Orthographic Scenery Guru can capture Laguna Amarilla for us. CYA There!

(This is why I don't normally use Drive)
Weird, for me google drive is a much better option cause onedrive always donwloads at 1mbps no matter my internet speed so I have to wait a couple of hours for the download to finish.
When I upload to google drive I always zip my folder before doing so, then when I share it I just press share with anyone. This makes everything fast and everyone can download it regardless if they have a google account.
I'll be likely flying The BO-105 FGUK Edition tomorrow as I really like this 'Bird and it's got smoke now. Makes it way easier to keep the group together. :-)

It will bite you on the arse when you least expect it.
