"Perfect flight"

LAN Peru A319 from Lima to Tarapoto... excellent flight, weather was ok, and the view from up there was great.

The only problem was that I had to taxi on the runway very fast in Tarapoto, as a B737-200 was landing just after me, and there are no taxiways parallel to the runway there!
(Sorry for all this SA flying spam, I just love to fly here.)

Cruising... nice view...

Arrived at Tarapoto, and taxiing... There is the Star Peru 737 landing

Both planes shutting down and waiting for the ladders :P

Hope you liked them. It was my 1 hour of relax :P

Nice shots Alonso ... I really like that Chilean Peruvian Navy port in shot 2!
Where can I find that?

Aw man that port is in Lima! The flight was Lima - Tarapoto.. (inside Peru) :P

Lan is a chilean airline, but it operates as Lan Peru here.

Obviously I already figured that out myself ... I know where Lima is ;) I just wanted to know where to get the scenery :D

Thanks for the link ... I have Stumbles bookmarked for when I get to Chile Peru with my tour. You showed it to me a couple of months ago ::)
