I have finally managed to take time out from the trip and all thats involved to update you on what&#8217;s going on&#8230; We arrived into Pisco Airport in Peru after completing our travels down The US Western Coast and Carribean and into South America, with pretty much no major issues. Howeve the avionics are still giving us problems and completely &#8216;crapped&#8217; out on the arrival and descent into Pisco, forcing me to land with zero communications. Squawking 7600 even though no contact was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The support 747 arrived at Lima with engineers dispatched on Sunday and they have been working on the fault whilst servicing the aircraft at the same time. I have since returned back to The UK with the camera, which for some reason decided to stop working so recording has not been possible if you have been wondering. Until I get the &#8216;all-clear&#8217; from the engineers I will be back flying for Fly UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.smiffycorner.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flying.sarge-smiffy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flying.sarge-smiffy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flying.sarge-smiffy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flying.sarge-smiffy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flying.sarge-smiffy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210703111843_1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello \ud83d\udc4b!
