We flew on to WABB. Nice flight, but the landing got a bit hectic...

On the way to WABB.

Wednesday evening flight screens.

Needed something bigger to haul the BBQ grill and supplies, so I traded the Goose off for a fine British machine...

Nice flight to Ternate, but it was kind of hard to see things when it came time to land.

A few picture from some earlier flights.

**Taco** · June 22nd, 2013, 11:42

Well, here are a few more.

***Moses03*** · June 22nd, 2013, 19:53

We are running out of Indonesia. PI next stop.

**Taco** · June 23rd, 2013, 05:25

Hey there! Well, we are off to the Philippines, and this should prove to be interesting. Got me whats going on, but Dudley P is making sure the guns are oiled and have plenty of booolets. Do you think that the last time we were there we might have pooped a few folks off! Anyway kind of looking forward to checking out some of the treasure stories about hidden loot that was hidden towards the end of WWII.

***Willy*** · June 24th, 2013, 21:10

We've put Indonesia behind us and flew on up to the PI.

Hi chief bottle washer!

Not a bad flight frome WAMH to RPMB with normal Flight #19 weather. Hey, and no one took any pot shots at us on landing. hehe. Willy found a nice inlet where we could park the birds, and go out and look over the country and get our land legs back under us. Poor old Dudley P. was sure down on the low side that nobody took any shots at us, he sure wanted to spray the shore with 50c. booolets. hehe. Going to do a little TLC on the PBM before the next trek.

***Willy*** · June 25th, 2013, 20:06

We were scheduled to fly on to RPVG, but we got lost and ended up at.. er... diverted to the "Isle of Enchanted Fire" Siquijor (RPSQ). Nice flight even with the storms, both weather and internet.

**Taco** · June 27th, 2013, 08:44

Hiya all,

Here are a few photos from the flight on the 25th before my internet headed south. Off for over 1 1/2 days. The internet company said looks like my modem went bad, but this AM the darn thing started working. So we will see.

We connected some more dots in the Philipines. Nice flight although the weather was a bit sucky.

**Taco** · July 1st, 2013, 05:47

Howdy folks,:salute:

A very nice flight, but Dudley and I need to do something to bring in a few more bucks inorder to keep up with maintenance and fuel, but also, for some fun times! When we get up to RPLB (Subic Bay) we are going to need to do some heavy mantenance on the PBM this long junket it starting to take it toll on the old gal. Just thinking, maybe we could fine some cargo or what to take to the local rebels. Nah....the local goverment would not take that to well. hehe, but money talks and baloney walks.

***Willy*** · July 1st, 2013, 19:21

We flew on up to RPUD. Next stop, Subic Bay!

***Willy*** · July 5th, 2013, 19:46

Subic Bay!!

**Taco** · July 6th, 2013, 05:05

Hey, we finally made Subic Bay! Now is a good time to do some TLC on the PBM been a long junket and so far no serious problems with her. A very nice flight even with the Thunderstorms (R/L) we were having here in our part of New Mexico, and the best part finally, finally got some very needed rain! One time the thunder knocked off my internet server, but it came back and got to finish the flight.

**Taco** · July 7th, 2013, 05:03

Hi there! just a few photos from the flight from RPLB to RPUQ. We did run into some thunderstorms and fig. Finally found a place to land at RPUQ hehe on a river, some of us worried if the river delta was deep enough for the larger planes. so far, so good, no leaks in the hull.
