Second try. ATR 42 in Cancun

My second try. First, I want to thank those who commented on my first set of shots.

Now for these shots, I started at TIKAL in Guatemala, at noon, a bit of wind and some rain, heading to Cancun on the reliable ATR-42. The only problem with this ac is that the landings are kinda hard. It bounces like hell, just like if you had about 60psi in your car tires. Nevertheless, I like that particular plane and flight, for it was the same one (albeit in TACA) that took me ther on my first visit to Cancun.... Noisy cabin, but nice views from the windows.

Hope you like them, and please, any comments, are welcome.


P.S. Still with the damn SiS chipset.... Thinking about an upgrade...


Ready to go at rwy 10.

Leveled at FL110, Speed 240 knots, autopilot set, and having a little chat with my favorite flight attendant about the nice landscape and some tanning on the Cancun beaches
