Then it was time to head over to the airport and board our plane to view the Nazca lines from the air. Jackie and I flew in a small 4 seater with a pilot and copilot. It was a half hour tour and we managed to see quite a lot of geoglyphs. It was a fun flight but the constant bouncing and banking was a little upsetting. Just after we finished our flight the winds picked up and they closed all flights.
