...where we flew from Veracruz to Villa Hermosa, Mexico then to Palenque, Mexico.

With a huge wait at Veracruz to get our multi-entry permit and ..... other ...... stamps ...... and ..... forms ..... in ..... triplicate ..... I was bored and got this nice shot of the tiptank (and the plane, and Ma) with the Sigma 10-20mm. I was about 40cm away from the tank. Oh yeah, the trip! Sorry, I was reliving Mexican paperwork. We landed at Villa Hermosa for fuel, then had to make two attempts (first , second ) to land at Palenque because some damn Mooney got in front of us. Which is OK, because we made him wait at the end of the runway until we landed (see the end of the second video). We still arrived before Jack and most everyone else, proceeded to have a few drinks at the bar, where Jim grilled Kelley -- no photos, and, fortunately or not, no audio. Apparently, Veracruz was still a little slow.
