Leaving VVTS for VVNT

Phew! Must go and have a lie down.
A nice glass of chardonnay (or 2) will do you good. Nice one Ron!

That track looks as though I'd already had some!I reckon that'll be one of the tidiest flights you'll see from me.

Glad to see you stretching the envelope, Ron.

Right! That's enough lolly gaggin' around. On to the next stop VVPC. Note to self, keep the land on your left.
What an interesting afternoon! What started as a 'I'll quickly knock this leg off' ended in gnashing of tooth.
Here's a tip for all you wannabe racers.
1:Start from the correct airport.
2:When you crash because you're looking at the overhead view to see where the bloody sea is, DO NOT go back to the SAME airport to start again. That calls for an Abort.
3: When you finally arrive at Phucat (I said something similar) do not discover a phantom crashbox!
I swear I was still 15' in the air over the numbers when BANG! Game over.
Oh and 4: Do not clout the wife, it wasn't her fault.
The sun rises on yet another day. Let's see what cock-ups I can conjure up.
VVNT-VVPC....Again!
Wot? No cock-ups?
SPECTACULAR!
We'll make you a full blown racer in no time.

Getting the han...... No, best not tempt fate. VVPC-VVDN next.
Wonders never cease.(As my old Mum used to say) Fairly straight line too!
This next leg will be tricky. I'm heading inland from VVDN to VTUU. There is no coastline to follow so I may well end up in Reykjavik!
Tally Ho!
You got this Ron! Cuz you're on instruments! LOL
Good hunting.
BTW watching you live (still not awake, need more coffee!) via the Duenna "view live" function which still works on the QTWeb browser v3.8.5 b108 as it still loads the Google Earth plugin where all other browsers don't.
edit -NICE ONE RON!!!

You were watching me wandering around the city? I was pretty chuffed to pass over PAKSE. That gave me a 'Now I know where I am' moment. I took a while to realise the rivers are soddin' green!
Then I saw those lovely PAPI lights.
Eyes Sellotaped to compass for this one. It looks to be a featureless trip. Eek! VTUU-VTUN
Before I post up my last leg, is there some issue with VTUQ and VTUN? I definitely patted myself on the back for overflying, what I thought was, VTUQ and landed safely at, what I thought was VTUN. But Duenna, she say no! She say I land VTUQ
EDIT: just been back to FSX and sure enough, elect to go to VTUN spawns you at VTUQ and vice versa.
Sorry about the two screen shots. Not sure what happened there.

I could swear I posted my Duenna bits. Oh well, I'll do it again.

I'm now leaving VTUN/VTUQ bound for VTBU. It'll be interesting to see where I pitch up.
In the sea, that's where I pitched up!Arrived at the coast too far south and was making my way in an orderly fashion, northwards. I had to resort to sticking my head out of the window so I could see the airport when it appeared.
Well it did appear but rather too suddenly for my liking. A savage turn to the right combined with insufficient height and too little power.....Early bath.
Once more into the breach dear friends, once more...blah blah blah...or fill the sea with our dead F100s. (Sorry Will)

Welcome to the Ocean Bathing club. I did a CFIW (Controlled Flight into Water) a few flights ago, so don't feel bad. Sar is very nice and pretty quick, although I hope like heck I never see them again
Good luck on future flights! Keep the energy up, and the wheels dry
Pat☺
Thank ee kindly Pat. Wheels kept dry this time.
The thought of doing the leg yet again concentrates the mind enormously!
You seem to be having a fine old time roaming round Southeast Asia.
When are we gonna see a screenshot of the "Hun" in Attwood action?
How about with the drag shute deployed (preferably on landing rollout)?

So far, so good.
Actually the drag chute doesn't show in replay and I sure as heck am NOT leaving the cockpit until that sucker has come to a rest!
Another day, another wander around. From VTBU to VTPI in the middle of nowhere! Still, there is a big ol' lake to let me know I've gone too far, which is some help I guess.
