On our way to Argentina via Yacuiba in Bolivia fro Fuel and Custom

We launch early again in the morning to take advantage of the cool temperature.

We need to have a Start Pac GPU start just for the Mustang and all work well.

The other plane told me that we stayed on the ground for a long roll....may be but the speed came where they were suppose to be and the climb was a lot easier than previously...may be because of the weight....We have ti make a stop in Bolivia to get fuel and clear custom on the way out.


We are leaving Uyuni, great place and great help


A flying paradise, and no clouds the only problem, is the Altitude


I choose Yacuiba because the airport elevation is at 2200 feet and far enough from the Andes


This is the terminal


Sophie ask there questions:  Are you sure they have fuel....answer is yes and the truck on on its way

But what about custom...and immigration?


well this must have been the first Mustang and the first TBM to land here, we have the visit of the military, the dogs and the while staff of the airport...

With the exception of Immigrations...


Well Immigration is in town, this is a boxer town with Argentina

So we went to downtown , a 20 mn scary drive each way and we did clear custom at the border check point




At the gate and on the ground...never done that one before


Uniform did help a lot
