Looks like a lovely balmy, sleepy evening in Cancun, with the crew straight off to the hotel for some ice cold Margaritas🍹.
Great pics Walter 😊

Cheers,

Hi:

Thanks for the flowers.

Nathan:

For the Aero Mexico DC-8 crews high up in the seniority list there was a very special rotation:

Mexico City- Acapulco- Montreal- Acapulco- Mexico City.

It was so special because it included a 3 day stay in Acapulo (good hotel at a nice beach) and a 3 day stay in Montreal (fine shoping!!!).

The only problem the take off at max grossweight form ACA at around 11 o clock noon. My friend expressed it "casi no podemos virar" referring to the turn after take off to north north east and avoiding the the high mountains north and northeast of ACA.







Kind regards


Walter
