Arriving on fumes at Buenos Aires... (see the gauge on the left) http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-25_0-45-48-860_zps9d2a348b.jpg

Wow great! I'm just a private pilot with 43hr on a 1972 C150 Aerobat. I'd like to fly a C172 or an Archer...

As it is uncommon to me seeing planes with other reg. than LV-*** Good to hear there's another Pilot on the forum, do you hold a PPL?

Hey Kaoclya, I'm flying on IVAO, couldn't make VATSIM work... Yeah, I'm sure there'd be an Argentinean registered C90 on AVSIM, I'm just too lazy to search. Besides, there are North American-Registered planes flying here, and I tell you this because I've seen them and I heard them on the radio while flying ;) Regards and thanks for reading!

Today's flight is short, a 1 hr hop to Rosario City. We will be taking 5 people and full baggage on board. Because it's a short flight, we'll fill the tanks just to the half, more than enough! With 6 people on board plus baggage, we get closer to the MTOW, actually 400 lb below it. Flaps, one notch. We'll be using this setting though AEP's runway is long enough (B737's operate here). A direct route from the beginning, it'll take us over Campana, Zárate and San Nicolas while Paraná River comes along us. Once we are all aboard, and clear to push back and start from the VIP spots the journey begins. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-0-4-423_zpsdda2c508.jpg Engine one is alive, soon after number two. A short taxi leaves us at holding point of runway 31. Even though we have tailwind, it's just 3kt well below the 10kt limit. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-0-51-830_zps796c75be.jpg Soon after we are airborne, leaving Argentina's main city. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-6-21-888_zpsc67a23b6.jpg On our right hand River Plate's delta. We can see below the coast of San Fernando and Tigre. That's where all sport boats are, beautiful place ;). Far away we can see Paraná River. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-9-5-767_zps940ccd2a.jpg Climbing to cruise, passengers enjoy the landscape... Quite boring as it is very flat, but the river adds some charm to it. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-12-8-626_zps02039875.jpg Right below us, Campana. We are getting closer to the state limit with Santa Fe. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-18-22-785_zps8e5592f5.jpg Right hand, Paraná River. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-20-11-467_zps361d56f9.jpg We start descending to 2300ft, following IAC N°2. This chart describes a 12nm DME arc, until we intercept runway 19 localizer. Once again we'll have tailwind, but it's 6kt so no problem. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-33-19-733_zps06802131.jpg While we descend we can see Rosario City and its harbour. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-47-47-506_zps93f846b3.jpg Thanks to the DME arc we get a great view of the city. You can clearly see the riviera, the docks and Flag Memorial (that boat-shaped thing with the Argentinean Flag). http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-51-49-282_zpsb2727779.jpg Soon after we intercept the localizer and we are on final approach. The approach was smooth and great, but on the short final the plane "inflated" so we had to push down quite heavily, and we got a not-so-hard landing. Next time I'll be more careful on the winds... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_18-9-3-919_zps9a834269.jpg Landing roll was fast as we had to vacate the runway for a Dash8 that had to take off. We get to platform quickly, shut the engines down and then we go to the city to drink a coffee while we see the most beautiful Argentinean women. (It's known here that Rosarian girls are really pretty, and it's true :P ) http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_18-8-16-625_zps8381effa.jpg Thanks for reading! Saludos!

My brother told "Oh they sound crappy" and I was like "Are you crazy? They sound like the '80s very powerful!" He was like "meh" and turned around :P

Saw the black 599 again! This time I managed to take some photos as I stopped right behind it and then he stopped by my side. What a beautiful car, I just had to turn the radio off so I could hear the sound of that V12 downshifting... Yeah I really like the 599 http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/IMG_20140322_174438__zps4e8e424f.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/IMG_20140322_174554__zps7213c5f3.jpg I don't know if the plate was casual or if the owner choose it to. Custom plates are not legal here! http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/IMG_20140322_174424__zps33becd88.jpg

That last shot looks great Patch! And nice King Air! Some more War Thunder... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140321165751_zpsb8583046.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140321164211_zps901a296b.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140321165642_zps5149c344.jpg

I'm listening to some of this guy's songs. I really like it! Julien Neel - YouTube

Because one MC12 wasn't enough... OT: It was my favorite car in TDU, I had 2, one maxed out and the other stock. I remember doing the round the island race with it...

Yep, it now looks like one! Nice shots!

Looked at it again and for me it's still a calibra :P

Nice calibra Sti! http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140319162724_zpsd3fe1a7e.jpg The price of bringing one down... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140319164404_zpsbea65166.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140319163108_zps2d736a11.jpg

Or record a video and then pause it and make it a pic. I don't like taking selfies... I think it looks awkward from the outside. Even if you have a suction-cup-mounted camera pointing towards you, taking a pic of yourself while landing means that you have to get your hands off either, the yoke or the throttle... So no way. While on cruise you can "set" the power with the friction lock and then you have one hand free, and even if the weather is good you can just take your hands off the controls and the plane flies by itself, but of course that never happens because there's always some turbulences

We are all here for that... Even Superhyper :P

oops! My bad! It was on replay, while landing I'm very busy. And of course if'd do it in real life I'd crash for sure... No one ones to die when piloting :P

Going to Belize from Merida Hazy departure http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-18_16-7-59-754_zpsefe5711f.jpg Reaching the border with Belize http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-18_17-3-16-197_zpsdb47db73.jpg Landing http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-18_17-34-1-700_zpsb936c940.jpg

I went out for a hot lapping session... Ended up with no fuel :P http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/Screenshot_pagani_huayra_silverstone_18-3-2014-13-26-39_zps46ccd0cc.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/Screenshot_pagani_huayra_silverstone_18-3-2014-13-28-12_zpsc59ab0ab.jpg --- Post Updated --- Some WT http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140318135559_zps1b9e5829.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/shot20140318141018_zps7a30dfb9.jpg

Yeah, those living things that keep going in your way...

Is that unedited? o.O

Looking good! Here's my ride, arrived a month ago and it's like driving on a cloud!

If he says/writes so doesn't mean things really are that way. But whatever, this is one of those pointless "arguments" :P

They look great! Some photoshooting with the Huayra http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/Screenshot_pagani_huayra_silverstone_17-3-2014-16-36-11_zps11c55fca.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/Screenshot_pagani_huayra_silverstone_17-3-2014-16-34-40_zps573eb8a4.jpg

Couldn't get anything more orange than this... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/Screenshot_pagani_huayra_silverstone_17-3-2014-16-31-59_zps3139dccb.jpg

Yes it is Robik. And yes its roll rate sucks but it's faster than the Peashooter...
