Port-au-Prince to Tegucigalpa

DAY 10, LEG 55 - Port-au-Prince to Tegucigalpa

This leg takes us to the famous Tocontin airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  The airport lies 3,297ft above sea level and has a relatively short runway for commercial airliners.  For our 1900d it presents no problem however.  Take-off performance may be an issue with terrain surrounding the airport but that is for the next leg!

Just enough performance to clear the hills!
