Mario,
Welcome to BeechTalk. We would like to see some pictures of your airplane, of course.

And, I'd like to hear more about what general aviation is like in Venezuela....
Thanks.

Welcome Mario,

glad to see you here, I too would like to see some pictures of a South American Bonanza.

Does your propeller spin in the opposite direction, being south of the equator and all? :duck:

Jajaja fellas, thanks for the welcome words, no the prop spins in the same direction 'cause we are just above of the equator, YV2283 is a 1962 Beech Debonair, and as soon as i figure out how to post pics I'll introduce you guys with her...
I am a rookie pilot with just 2 years after finishing my private pilot course, and I've been flying her ever since.
Thanks again for the welcome words

Welcome Mario!

The B33 must be a popular airplane in Venezuela - we have two other BeechTalk members from there who have B33s....

Great picture of my favorite make and model :thumbup:

I'm thinking we all need to make a $1000 hamburger run to see Mario.

Well Bill
We have a group of pilots called Perros Voladores (Flying Dogs) and we used to fly on the first trimester of the year in a week long trip to different locations in the country, we gathered about 10 to 12 planes and had lots of fun, once we met a group of 4 planes coming from the US in an Island Hopping trip, all the way south to one beautiful place called Canaima in Venezuela where El Salto Angel (Angel Falls) is located, but the last 2 years the group is getting short and the trips are spacing out in the calendar and shortened in time, the economical situation is touching us too. On the other hand, the dollars are playing hard to get, and you know aviation spells $, but all in all, let`s see what happens in the rest of the year, and I hope tp fly as much as I can

Mario,

Welcome to BT!

I think the practice you and your friends have of doing periodic group flying trips is great and I love the group's name. I may have to borrow that... :clap:

Do you have any pictures from these trips you could share with us?

This first one is at an airport right in the border with Brazil called Santa Elena de Guairen, featuring in the flight line The Los Perros Voladores airplanes

This group of pics were taken at a very little island in the venezuelan caribean called Isla de Coche, which was our last stop in that year trip

By the way, the trip's date was in 2005 so do not mind the dates shown in yellow

Greetings from Venezuela
