Been a busy two days. The Bonanza got inspected and approved for US registration, I flew with the owner and then his instructor to learn the GPS and autopilot a little better, not that I needed it but it looked good on camera, and we were treated with a Uruguayan BBQ at the airport complete with a band made up of flight students and their instructors. We filed for the permission to enter Brazil today and should have an answer tomorrow. The plan is now to leave early Friday morning but we all know how plans go.
When I wrote this post I was having trouble with the hotel’s internet connection, go figure, and left it to go and have dinner with the camera crew. When I got back there was an email from the Brazilian FAA saying that there were two mistakes in our request for entry form. Yea, that’s gonna cost us a day.
