Regarding our expedition, canceling everything two weeks before departure did not seem relevant to me. It was a good decision because, apart from a few diversions to get out of the city escaping from burnt tires blocks, or find the shops closed for the day, or give up the visit of the largest open copper mine in the world (Chuquicamata), our aeronautical activity has been in no way affected by this violence, everyone having an interest in having the airport continue to operate. The glider was parked in a hyper-secure area next to the airliners. A Swiss pilot, impressed by the brutality of the demonstrators during the assault on his hotel, however preferred to shorten his stay and gave up continuing his holiday in Chile.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″ custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb15px|auto||auto||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/topfly-aero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/9-HOTEL-MDS-POSE-BLINDAGE-PORTE2.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bb9 HOTEL MDS POSE BLINDAGE PORTE2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/topfly-aero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/9-BLINDAGE-BANQUE.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bb9 BLINDAGE BANQUE\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/topfly-aero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/9-BLINDAGES.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bb9 BLINDAGES\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″ custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb-15px|auto||auto||\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||10px|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.8″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||0px|||\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n From the international hotel to the national bank and the smallest shops, everyone installed protections according to their possibilities.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″ min_height=\u00a0\u00bb296px\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb-9px|auto||auto||\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb3px|||||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.4.7″ min_height=\u00a0\u00bb255px\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb-56px|||||\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within two weeks, after shop windows had been broken down and stores set on fire, traders shielded the accesses with metal panels by reducing the front door to a tiny opening where one can only pass through by lowering your head, making impossible to run out with a fridge on your back, the best anti-pillaging defense, most often protected by an armed guard.

This created panic among some European pilots who had already shipped their gliders for competitions. Some have given up, their glider will remain inside the container. The flights quickly resumed as before.
