    A rather longish flight for me, but I didn't get too off course. I did mess up my distance calculations somehow as I picked up the radio compass signal from the Saratoga earlier than I expected to. Finally I spotted the carrier between the cloud cover and dove down to get into the pattern. Then I hit a fog that dropped the visibility down a few notches. Once I reacquired the Sara, it was a simple matter of dropping the wheels and tailhook and coming on it.

    Think we'll spend the night here in a warm comfy rack and take off tomorrow after coffee and donuts.

    Triple style points for three carrier landings!

    Thanks guys!

    I'm getting ready to start my second pass at the event in a largish cargo plane, but I'm going to do it with Gunter's Real Engine installed. First though I've got to do some testing to see if I've got RE installed correctly.
