Bry Rosier / Golden Age / SM.79 "Citrus Burst "

[Bry Rosier]

Leaving Mildenhall EGUN for Bucharest LRBS

Departing at 02:30 , hoping for a nice dawn on the way . Here starts a long day

Flying the Savoia Marchetti SM.79 tastefully and very quickly painted , by Arrvoo , in a particularly lively orange using half a dozen cans of lambourghini touch-up spray paint he had lying about

[MM]

Very nice subtle paint. Should be helfpul if you go down in the desert. And rumors indicate that the sharks of the Timor Sea are repelled by bright orange.

(Thought, at first, that you were testing a new camouflage scheme dreamed up by Italo Balbo.)

[Bry Rosier]

Arrived at Bucharest a little ahead of Schedule As anyone who tested this plane will know , it won`t make this distance on " Max chat " but I tested on different power settings and decided to "throttle back" and go for it A nice dawn awaited somewhere over old czechoslovakia and , apart from a few dead ndb`s , was a very nice first flight . Had a few "issues" with the ground crew at Bucharest :isadizzy: , I`ll explain in the Watering Hole

[Bry Rosier]

Quick Turnaround , Off to Baghdad ORBI with headwinds eeeek

[Bry Rosier]

Arrived safe and sound in Baghdad A complete lack of ndb`s enroute after Turkey , felt like being over the atlantic in evita again , But a big lake NW of baghdad served as a nice natural locator and gave a solid bearing to the airfield

piccies
1 A Barren featureless desert down there
2 A rather ordinary sky up there
3 A very welcome sight

[Bry Rosier]

After a nice rest overnight in Baghdad its an early start and heading down to OPGD Gwadar international

[Bry Rosier]

Long range NDB at Jiwani just come in range not long now

[Bry Rosier]

Successfully arrived at Gwadar OPGD , Excellent visability gave an easy approach and landing Relax for an hour or so then continue

[Bry Rosier]

Heading East to Allahabad VIAL

[Vicious]

Nice way to lay down the miles!

[Bry Rosier]

A nice calm flight to second Checkpoint Allahabad VIAL , Calm winds right on the tail all the way ,good strong NDB`s for nav and a right "pea soup" approach in Dusk , It gets dark early and fast here

[Bry Rosier]

Thanks Tom , unfortunately doesn`t have the range of the GB6 or comet but 1000 miles is long enough for me:mixedsmi:

[Bry Rosier]

Heading off Early in the morning for Rangoon , Burma , now Yangon Intl VYYY

[Bry Rosier]

Nice mellow flight with v. light tailwinds all the way , no wind drift and the long range Thangwe NDB made an easy water crossing , Weather turned for the worse making landfall and "typical Burmese storms" were the order of the day until close to the Airfield Smooth arrival at VYYY

[Bry Rosier]

Hot footing it to Singapore WSSL with a passenger , oh and a rather angry Bar manager chasing behind

[Bry Rosier]

Safe arrival at WSSL Checkpoint 3 , One of the most enjoyable runs ever About 400 miles of continuous tropical Thunderstorms . A wild ride needing "hands on stick" as heading hold couldn`t cope Thoroughly entertaining , and ironically clear skies and zero wind at Singapore

[Bry Rosier]

After a restful night we must continue Heading for WADA Selaparang on the Island of Lombok , next door to Bali

[Bry Rosier]

Oh dear "White Screen of Death " FSX total lock Time for a reboot and try again

[Bry Rosier]

Try again .. Heading to WADA

[Vicious]

I had a similar flight last night but Singapore was fogged in, wet and windy. Made for a rather exciting landing.

[Bry Rosier]

Safe Landing at WADA spent most of the flight anticipating another FSX crash but no

[Bry Rosier]

After a quick stop its off to Darwin YPDN . A few pints of Tooheys is just way too tempting at the moment . I hope they`ve got plenty

[Bry Rosier]

Hello Australia Safe Arrival at YPDN Relax time . Nice easy flight with a light tailwind as a bonus

[Bry Rosier]

Pushing on down to YCCY Cloncurry with FTX and Ozx Scenery Hope the video card holds up

[Bry Rosier]

Fsx just locked up cloncurry will have to wait for another day
