I found this little guy hiding in the downloads section.  I told myself I would fly it for the Buenos Aires to Houston leg of my trip.  I didnt realize just how large South America was and just how short a range this plane has.  But I said I would take it to Houston so I'm going to do it even if it takes me a couple of days.

I'm now stuck making several stops.

Buenos Aires, Argentina to San Paulo, Brazil
San Paulo to Porto Velho, Brazil
Porto Velho to San Jose, Costa Rica
San Jose to Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City to Houston, Texas

Rotating out of Buenos Aires.

Turning for San Paulo.

On final in San Paulo.

Made one very hot stop in San Paulo.  Stoped the engines long enough to refuel, then taxied back out, and finaly roared down runway 9L, my skid marks from 15 minutes before still there.

Turning for Porto Velho.

On final at Porto Velho.


As of tommarow I will leave Porto Velho and finish this leg of my journey.

i like that MD-8x....

Looks like a bit of bounce on you landing on pic 4!  :o Great pics keep 'em coming!  ;D

I am sorry but I never seen a place bounce backwards!!

Hehehe

Nice plan you got going on there. Would love to see in what airport you finally give up

well im getting ready to post some more pics here in a minute.  I just made it to Mexico City.  

as for the skid marks those were from my arrival a few minutes before.  i just taxied to the gate long enough to refuel before i was back on the runway.  and yes i have a tendancy to bounce this plane a lot.  It happens almost everytime i land.  i usualy come in a little light so it bounces easy.
