Made it to Romania.. (LRBS)
It was an awesome flight, started it at 6am, local time (Eastern).
I had a tailwind for a bit and at some point had a 55 knot tailwind before it turned into a 10 knot headwind. :)

Landed in OPGD no problem.. Was running low on fuel on landing though.
Interesting problem though, might need the committees ruling on this. I have a green duenna but the application never spit out a text file.. Please let me know if this is sufficient or do I have to refly this leg? The duenna spit out an error something about server cannot end flight or something along those lines.
Thanks

Looks fine, Eamonn. A Duenna-server glitch. Carry on.

Ya I found 65 knot winds around 11,000 feet, it was incredible.. :) I swear if ASA is still screwing up then that was a good screw up.. :)

Well here in Rangoon i am gonna park it for this event.. Real World obligations just kept getting in the way.. I was hoping to have it done for tongiht at midnight but not gonna happen... Between work, kids, housework and spending time with my wife, i didn't have much time to fly. Luckily i am taking time off for the RTW. :)
So here we bury my Spartan.. My cirrus broke down in Romainia, never to be heard from again. :(

Those are all important things but you forgot to mention one other - which is all the time you spent these last few weeks in developing and updating the event results spreadsheet. Thanks very much for that! :applause:
