@surf4fun0418 I'm sure you're very proud of him :-) ever flown in the cockpit?

@aijaman

Most definitely!

And yes...I've had a couple opportunity's to ride in the cockpit. He did a couple non-passenger flights (i.e. flying the aircraft up to the paintshop in Amarillo) for me so I could, and I loved it!

for those never to TGU, the runway don't have more land, the city is made of hills and high mountain around,ONLY Pilots trained for harsh terrain can make it there.The other option is to fly to San Pedro Sula, 4 hours nort, the land there is flat and the airport better for easy landing and bigger planes, I quit using the TGU 10 years ago and now prefer the SPS.

Honduras is a beautiful country with nice people, despite bad news, rarely a tourist will be in trouble there..Pilots I salute You!!

I'm from Tegucigalpa, and have the "experience" as passenger several times flying out and in of Toncontin International.What the video don't show is the people behind the pilots, for about 30 minutes everyone is quiet, you can hear a drop pin, specially in a rainy day.Tegucigalpa is a city over 400 years old, the city-airport are surrounded by mountans, the BRAVE pilots need to fly in circles inside the bowl, the runway is very short, that explain the almost vertical landing-taking off, great

Wow, great job! Excellent flying on the pilots' part, and a great video. It must be so cool for your dad to be a commercial pilot. He showed excellent piloting there. Does he still fly to Toncontin? Will he still be able what with the Continental-United merger? Best wishes.
