Meandering over Old Mexico (And Points North)

Flew a double header tonight. First it was off to MM1H which is on an island off the Mexican coast where I buzzed the runway and then back to the mainland to land at MMMZ. Great flight and I didn't bend anything which is always good.
 
Like Willy said, great flight. . .a few newcomers and a quick stopover at Isla Maria for one of those drinks with the umbrellas (to go). Enjoyed it.
 
We kept it short tonight by just flying to Durango (MMDO). Great flight over some rough terrain.
 
Wow Willy, nice Terrain Mesh there. Take a look at my shot with the wheels down and that's what my terrain looked like all the way from the time I mentioned that the 10K altitude setting was just clearing the mountain until I landed. Basically flat as a pancake. Oh well.

Cool pics Willy. . .In this first pic, Willy was passing in front from right to left on take-off. . .looked cool so I shot a pic before he rolled out of view. After the flight I took the Jet Ranger out to the coast and got a shot looking back from the water to the airport. Pretty area, probably a great place to vacation.

What is the plane in the second and third shots on March 15th???
 
Only got one pic tonight from the flight to MMTC. Was having such a good time that I just clean forgot to take screenshots!
 
It's amazing the difference between the mesh I installed and the mesh you have Willy. Mine is pretty much flat compared to what I see in your screenshots.
 
Nope, we didn't have a post on March 15th....the post in question was done by me on March 14th. We setup to fly on the evening of the 15th. . .had several no-shows and decided against flying without them, so there was no flight that evening to post. Not sure why yours would show the 15th as none of ours do, but that's incorrect.
 
Kelly, I have no idea about why you're seeing the 15th, but I can ask.

falcon, mine is a former payware mesh by Raimondo Taburet that he used the space shuttle radar mapping data in creating. When he switched to FSX, he made it available as free for short while. MM told me about it and I spent most of a day downloading every bit of it (almost all of the world).
 
Mystery solved. . .I posted those shots at 23:07 CST. . .you are on the east coast, 1 hour later, so it posted March 15, 00:07.
 
Another great flight but to Topia this time. Kind of a hole in wall up in the mountains.

I've got a lead on a light twin that the locals say the pilot didn't think he could get back out of here, so he just left it....
 
Ok. . .I'll say it. . .Damn!!! That's a tough approach Willy. . .I see what you mean about the brick wall. Wow!

Here are my shots from FSX:
 
:applause:Yep, here we go into the unknown! TOPIA, dirt runway at 2200 feet with a rock wall on one end, and trees and buildings on the other end! :running: Now believe this, it is going to get very darn interesting before we can fire up the BBQ, and enjoy some liquid refreshments. Just a few photos of the flight, but none of the final approach had me bloody eyes closed! hehe
