I was able to make a flight to Quito this morning to haul a little girl and her family to the hospital. The little girl had fallen and broke her arm. So we took her on the quick 50 minute flight up the hill to Quito. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! At one point, I could count over 7 snow capped volcanoes at the same time. It was a flight to remember for sure.
This is Volcano Cotopaxi. I have written about it before, but this was a really pretty angle of it. Remember, it is the highest active volcano in the world.
This is Volcano Tungurahua. Just seconds before this picture there was no ash or smoke coming out of the top. Then all of a sudden it exploded. This picture was taken on the way back to Shell. I didn't take any pictures on the way up to Quito, but Tungurahua did the same thing as we were flying past it on the way to Quito. All told, we say two explosions from Tungurahua today, absolutely impressive!
