This Weeks Flight for Wednesday 1st February 2023 comes under the Monty Python statement “and now for something completely different”.
Departing San Juan De Marcona (SPJN) on the south west coast of Peru we fly northish and commence a round trip viewing of the famous Nazca Lines a Unesco World Heritage site and also the recently discovered glyphs at De Palpa nearby, turning south east arriving at Maria Reiche Neuman, Nazca airport (SPZA). (South Americans love long titles for their airports!!!)
There are too many glyphs to list herein so pilots can do their own investigation and see how many they can see.
The flight plan provided is a general guide to the area in which the glyphs can be seen and will require some tight turns so please be mindful of other pilots.
