Regards from
Colombia, during the 13th and 14th of October there was the the Air
Festival 2007 and the XXII National Contest of scale model-makers
organized by IPMS Guayaquil, this to mark the celebrations the 20 years of
this association, anniversary 87 of the Air Ecuadoran Force and for the
Independence of the city of Guayaquil.
We returned to fly for
AVIANCA in company of my wife and my mother-in-law, landed in Guayaquil
about 6 p.m. of Friday, the 12th of October and moved immediately to the
place of the contest (Simón Bolívar Air Base) to drop off the models
that were going to compete.
This year, AVIANCA is
offering on its flights the delicious coffee of Colombia's "Juan
Valdez", so if you can fly for this airline, you will taste the
flavor of Colombia on board. Its stewardesses use beautiful aprons
with the image of a Colombian coffee grower.
