Trip to Colombia

Last weekend we flew to Colombia with our friends Tom and Rob.  Tom is also a pilot - in fact it was him who got use excited about flying in the US last year.  Colombia is a very cute goldrush town, all original wooden saloon bars and shops offering you the chance to pan for gold and so forth.  They also had a special even on called "Tent Town" where a bunch of fascinating individuals had set up a super-authentic goldrush town from the 1850s and were pretending to pan for gold.  The guys doing it had really got into character.  Anyway, all very photogenic, so why no photos?  Yes, I forgot to put the battery back into the camera.

Luckily, Rob had his iPhone to the ready for some photos of Alex, Ruth and I landing.

Also some great shots of formation flying.

We could see them from our plane too! (Ruth asleep in the foreground)

... and Alex took some video of the formation flying on his phone, which gives you a good feel for the countryside on a rather overcast day.
