    Willy's Sunday drive in a Ford

    Starting over again to see if the CTD issues continue. I flew the Ford for a bit this morning and it was fine.

    VVCI to VVNB

    I guess 3rd time is the charm! Came in hotter than before and no problems.

    Made it to Dien Bien down in it's valley okay, but had the darndest time trying to find the runway and line up with it in the fog. I think I spent more time circling down between the hills than I did on the trip over from Hanoi. Still, it worked out, so everything's good.

    Beautiful Figure Eight. Nice artistic touch, getting the balance just right. Wonder if the local crowd appreciated the air show?

    They must have as they were setting off a lot of fireworks in appreciation.

    Well, it almost worked out. Crashed on short final. I'll give it another try tomorrow.

    In true Flight 19 fashion I was supposed to head south, but somehow went a pretty good ways north before I caught on to it. So I probably went about 300ish nm on a 240nm flight. Then, while talking to "Mission Control", I bumped Mach 1 pretty hard. Still a great flight

    VTUW is looking pretty good right now...

    Finally got enough duct tape, bubble gum and electrical ties to get the Ford back together. I just had a window of opportunity and took it. Safe landing at VTUW

    Well, despite the really stupid move I made on initial touchdown, I still managed to somehow get a green duenna at VTUU

    Think I'm not going to push me luck any farther tonight as I made it safely into VTUN.

    Nice flight, but I'm thinking I'd better get out of Thailand while the getting is good.

    And it was a bust! For some reason, when I start getting into the Saigon area from either direction, I get a crash to desktop. Not sure how close I got this time as the DME wasn't working for some reason.
