Takeoff from Miami International Airport destined for Ecuador in a Gemini Air Cargo DC-10-30F with Chief Pilot Sandy Saunders at the controls. We were only carrying four pallets of cargo, so the takeoff climb is rather steep!

Landing in Quito, with 16,000ft peaks surrounding the airport and a short runway. The Ground Proximity Warning System 'Glideslope' alert can be heard as Captain Saunders intentionally lands below glidepath to maximize available runway for stopping.
