Central America - Redux

Central America - Redux

This is a reprise of a flight we did back in 2021.   The flight begins in Mexico at Tapachula (MMTP) and then a quick stop at the grass strip at Malacatán Airport (MGML) to get our passports stamped. The route continues into the highlands of Guatemala with several volcanos and high-altitude airport landings. We stop at San Marcos (MGSM) and Quetzaltenango (MGQZ) before flying over beautiful Lake Atitlán to Santiago (MGST).

Next is a landing at the sprawling capital of Guatemala City (MGGT) and then we head north to Zacapa (MGZA) before doing a flyover of the ruins of Copan. Turning south our next stop is Nueva Ocotepeque Airport (MHNV), then on to Ilopango Intl (MSSS) in San Salvador (the capitol of El Salvador). Departing over Lake Ilopango we will pass close by a series of volcanos before landing at El Papalon Airport (MSSM). The short final leg will take us to Tamarindo (MS1A), a small airstrip on the Pacific coast.

 The route is 352 miles in length with 10 landings. I will be flying the Cessna Caravan or possibly the SWS PC-12 (although some of the fields are pretty short).
