Here is the Cesna plane that took us up to see the Nasca lines. The pilot's door wouldn't shut properly
, but apart from that everything was fine. Just to make sure we could see the monkey, spider etc.., the pilot did a series of sharp turns. I was starting to get used to his style of flying which involved looking backwards at us whilst shouting the names of animals. Lou was at the back of the plane and I was further forward in order to keep the plane balanced. Although the cockpit had a sign warning against aerobatic manoevres I was thankful that we hadn't had time to have any breakfast. Still, the flight lasted about 30 minutes and all sick bags remained unused. It is quite difficult to take pictures from a plane banking tightly to let everyone see a design on the ground, but if you double click the images to open them you will get clear views of some of the line drawings and funny shapes.
"Alien Landing Strip" or perhaps just a shape pointing to a water source.
"Spider, Spider!"
"Parrot?" er, are we looking at the right thing?

Half way through the flight we managed to close the pilot´s door to only a small crack, and then made a nice landing at Nasca airport ready for the long debate with an official about who should pay our airport tax. A very Peruvian experience and highly recommended.
