Well, Spook, looks like you got it. Everything looked great. I suspect carb ice got me. I kept up with the mixture, Pitot heat on, and I STILL lost power. I put the nose down, tried to recover, but it bit me again. I think I'm going to take a few days to practice, I am really messing this up. I apologize to everyone. I really am better than this. I am just having some really bad times lately. I will do practice, and be right back in ready to go in a couple days.
I do apologize to all for messing this up so badly. I AM better than this...
Honest...

Baton pilot has dropped off radar in the mountains, so I've diverted to LFHQ to check he's OK.
Wingman transfer, and Baton is free at LFHQ.

Alrighty then, let's try this again...
I have the baton, at LFHQ, headed to EGBB in the SOH F7F-3, FSRealWX Lite.
Thanks for stopping in to check on me. After some rest in the local clinic, I'm a little sore in spots, but gtg. Glad my Ground Crew brought the spare bird in on a C-130.
Awaaaaaay we go!

Best approach and landing I've made in a while. Last might's practice T&G's apparently paid off. More different planes tonight.
Looks like a good jumping off point for Greenland.
Alternatively, another relatively short hop would get you father north, maybe a better airport. The UK does have a few airports sprinkled about...
Time to hit the Club for a pint, then off to an Inn for some much needed sleep.
See y'all soonest!

Great jump-off to Greenland. Too cold for me, though. North Sea storm blowing, raining, cold, miserable...
Thank goodness for heat in the cockpit and a good heavy flight jacket! Time to make a run for the Tower to do the paper-work, then to a nice cozy Pub to sit in front of the fire and drink Whisky...
If it doesn't count, let me know, and I'll do what I can when I can to help
Have fun all!

Ya, seems this site does self maintenance around 12:15 am CST everyday, so we use the alternate site at 'sim-outhouse.net' during the race if this site is down. Will have to find that official post explaining this to the new guys.
Anyhow, how'd you like that storm brewing over Glasgow last night ? Threw my little cheyenne around pretty badly, thought I might lose my virtual lunch but the scenery was amazing. I'll post a pic when I get home. Nice run, ya made good time.

I had a 35-45 kt headwind the whole way. Bumpy as the road I live on too. Ever get "potholes" in the air?
Raining when I got it down, thankfully the winds were close enough to the runway heading the landing wasn't bad. Bumpy all the way down to about 500'AGL too. As I was hand-flying, the stick was all over the place, trying to keep some semblance of control
At least the clouds stayed up around 1800'AGL, so I had decent (other than the rain on the windscreen) visibility.
Never a dull moment.
I'll get onto the alternate site, and register, all that good stuff.
A question, if I may: I ran the Race for a couple years in Flightsim's team. Now that I've moved over to Sim Outhouse, does that give me Rookie status again? I'm just wondering, because a Mulligan might save us a leg. It might help the team. Poncho is in the same boat, so you might have 2 mulligans available, if needed. Just a thought...

Edit: Is my forum username and password usable on the sim-outhouse.net forum as well, or will I have to register there and get a new username or password?

This isn't an official answer - I'm not on the Race Exec Committee - though I have been a Duty Officer at least a couple of times.
The intent of the Mulligan Rule is to help pilots new to the race to overcome any fear that they might crash and cause the team a penalty. With a Mulligan, they can crash, do a wingman transfer, and the team loses nothing. This year they even get two Mulligans each!
But moving to a new team, having flown for another race team in previous years, isn't the same situation. I think you and Frank aren't rookies - we saw how many flights you guys flew for FlightSim in the race last year!!

Gooooood try , Pat. You ever think of a second career in used car sales?
It requires that you register again, but the two sites don't communicate so you can duplicate things if it's a help. Also, the Keepers of the Keys will be contacting you and Ponch about access to the Team's Secret Hideout. Don't worry, its not too expensive.
