• ·         Cruz De Machacamarca Airport (SLCZ) - 12,399 Elevation

The route concludes on the Pacific coast of Chile at Iquique (SCDA) – 157 Elevation. 

If this route seems familiar it is because it has been recycled from 2017 where we flew it in airliners.

I was able to fly this flight over the last 2 evenings...what a phenomenal trip with spectacular scenery - I would argue some of the best MFS has to offer. Great flight Jeff, one for the ages!
