    Re-flying my 1st leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
    My first leg: (VTBU) to (VTPI). Looks like I have to take off in rain this time.

    Looks like I crashed again and exceeded Mach 1.05! That's it for me today.

    Just think of all the great practice you're getting, on what NOT to do.
    Now, for a good leg, just don't do that stuff, and it will be perfect

    Good luck!

    You have a little wiggle room at Mach 1.01. Per PRB's NOTAM, you can fly a leg below 1.05 and still be okay.

    As long as you don't see this in the text file:

    I've been doing some more practice flights. After many failed attempts, I think I'm ready to try the leg again. I've "//" out the GPS gauge in the panel folder. Re-flying my 1st leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
    My first leg: (VTBU) to (VTPI).

    Wow! Down safe. I thought I was going to land to hard and get a crash again. The photo below was taken at alt. I was keeping a eye on the MACH meter. If you can see the little hand drawn red circle

    Well it looks like I landed at the wrong airport! Looks like im about 55mn to the south of VTUD!

    I try to make my flight plan stick me out about 10nmi off the airport, and on the runway heading. Since I don't fly high anyway, I just pop up to about 1200'AGL, cut the engines, hang out the speedbrake and start slowing hard. Soon as I can, I hang out flaps and gear. Usuall a couple mile off the end of the runway, then just grese it on in. Usually. Occaisionally, I overshoot, and make it an overhead recovery. I been flying Navy birds too much, I guess. I love the overhead...
    Glad you're getting it locked in! Good luck on the rest of the flights!

    Well down safe but not at VTUD! Im at VLVT looks like I went to far north by about 20mn. Im not flying to high (around 18,000ft) so I can see the ground and look for the airport. I guess I missed it with all the cloud over.

    Looks like im going to have to go back to doing what I did with the first two legs. One problem is I need to get some sleep. I work nights and have not been to bed yet.

    I worked nights most of my life. I am well familiar with the lack of sleep that it can cause. I finally came to the conclusion that sleep was more important than most things, and worked that way. It really helped a lot. Do what I HAD to do, nothing else. Days off were for the other stuff
    Good luck! Looks like you're getting better and better at the MiG.
