My 1st time airborne

The first time I flew was in Nazca, Peru in 1983. We boarded a single engine plane in order to view the Nazca lines that are carved in the desert below. I felt sad as Miguelon had to be left on the ground, I guess he never flew in his life.

Off course in the air I felt sick and had to use one of those paper bags!



The lines are a 2000 year old mistery: UFOs, astronomical calendars, etc. My opinion, I think Nazca people were good geometrists and drew this as a present to the gods.
On the way back to Lima, we hit a huge pothole on the "bajada" before cañete. Without a spare (also punctured, way up), we got lucky when the owners of the plane from Nazca drove down and helped us out giving us their spare.
