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.
