oh well, so it goes.

I will not be thwarted!
that's what practice is for.
now, I've got to go put lights on the tree.
:salute:

edit;
oh, right!!!
wingman makes it,
baton makes it.
WTG, PRB!
I had better always have a wingman

Smilo, don't be discouraged by this. We (well, I) deliberately chose this route because it would guarantee bad weather and darkness. I'm feeling bad about that now, since these conditions are not easy, even for the veterans. However, don't give up. CYOC was a particularly difficult approach due to the terrain around the airport. Darkness and bad weather don't help. The first three legs I ever flew ended up as crashes, so don't feel bad!

thanks Paul.
I did, but I don't.
trust me on this
you did the right thing selecting this route.
we must be able to operate in all conditions
and the only way to learn is by doing it the way we are doing it.

if you guys can stand my ineptitude,
so can I.
like I told you,
I'm a stubborn old SOB.
you can't get rid of me that easy...

Baton is free at CYCB. We are very close to N 70 degrees here. Be mindful of a SE direction moving forward.

**Flyin Bull** · December 14th, 2009, 05:39

I have baton CYCB to CYYH in DH Hornet

**Spookster67** · December 14th, 2009, 05:51

Looks like the baton is almost half way round the world. It started at 101 degrees East, so when it gets to 79 West that's about half way.

The route so far (a view from a LONG way above the north pole)
