Baton back at BIPA. I have no idea what happened. I stepped away to prepare dinner. Came back, the airplane was out of control, falling, engines running, full power, plenty of fuel. I've never seen anything like it with this airplane ever. I disengaged otto, and tried, all the way to the watery death, to regain control. Weird.

I'm flying this again, in daylight. It occurs to me that my IAS is 0 knots. Both on the IAS gauge in the cockpit, and on secondary gauges. I wonder why.

Well I made it to BGKK. This leg is invalid since I flew it daylight to attempt to troubleshoot my "problem", which, as is quite common, turned out to be me. I'm posting this in the great tradition of the US Naval Aviation magazine "Approach", where pilots who do dumb things tell their story in the hope that it might help others. This F7F has been my "go-to" plane for all RTW race flights at night and/or bad weather. I knew everything about it. Didn't But I hadn't flown it in a w while, and not in cold weather. So I forgot both pitot heat and anti-ice. What I don't know is if that will kill engine power at some point after flying a long time in cold weather with rain and snow, which this flight had in abundance. So, the moral of the story is: know your airplane. Sounds simple enough, but it bit me tonight! Lesson learned!

In a hole, short runway- had to do a couple go-arounds because I couldn't believe they stuck this strip in the bottom of a dark hole. Recon is a smarter alternative than going in blind.
Here's a daylight pic- Just because I had to look. Imagine coming into this totally dark.

I spoke to my lawyer this morning and he advises me that should I choose to invoke the missing pilot rule and the requirement that I comply to the rule for this practice that I fly A default A/C after the first hop (that I totally forgot about), an empty default 737 will make it out of this hole AND has the range to make to KJFK.
Just sayin.

I never miss an issue of that magazine, to this day. Got into it when I was in. Good ol' Mech too.I'm posting this in the great tradition of the US Naval Aviation magazine "Approach", where pilots who do dumb things tell their story in the hope that it might help others.
Great pair of magazines, even on-line. There was no "line" when I was in. All we had was paper

Well, well, well...
I guess I don't learn from other's issues.
I just crashed due to, you guessed it, carb ice. Everything was going perfectly smoothly, so I (no choice, really) got up to use the head. Just for a minute. I got back and sat down again, in a spin, engines failed. Hit the carb heat, but I was to late, and went for a swim. COLD water. Talk about "shrinkage"...
My apologies to all...

Just a reminder that we're supposed to be going somewhere North of 70. I had BGCO in mind, but others are available.
