Happy New Year from the Lima Lima Flight Team

What a better way to get off to a smoking 2006 than by the picture of the team coming back from Acapulco in November and flying by the active Popocatetl Volcano just Southeast of Mexico City. The volcano's peak is 17,887 above sea level and at the time of the photo we were at an altitude of 11,500 feet on our way to Tampico. The ability to fly at higher altitudes allows us to take advantage of both lower fuel burns and favorable tail winds. This capability is made possible by our portable oxygen systems which are provided by one of our great sponsors, Precise Flight, Inc.
Since we took seven aircraft to the show, John Rippinger was able to break out of the formation to get the shot of the Lima Lima six ship wedge formation.
Turn up your sound for a little of Jimmy Buffett's rendition of Volcano.
