    Willy's Cape to Cape Bonanza

    Since Miss Nellie approved the two week extension for the completion of the race, I figured that I'd see how far I could get in the Modern era with the Carenado V35 Bonanza.

    Leaving Cape Town...

    Edited to add that Modern Era for me is in FS 1954

    Well, I'm thinking Murphy has taken up homesteading the right seat. Or whoever else is responsible for headwinds.

    Still somewhere over South Africa and a bit over an hour to Kimberly. I'll say one thing for the Bonanza, it's excellent range...

    About an hour and half till I get to Livingston. Starting to wonder just what was going through my mind when I took this bet back at the hotel to fly back up to Norway.....
