Setting up the Beech Model 18 here at Mildenhall. Splendid Kansas craftsmanship. Lovely English dawn.

Departing for Melbourne. May stop at Rome on the way. Maybe elsewhere later on...
-Mike
Passing Bern and climbing to surmount the Alps here. Will probably need about 13,000 feet (busting sort ceiling of 12,000) so this is a notice for Miss Nellie.
-Mike
Gulp. Needed 13,500 to crest the high ridges.
-Mike
Landed safely in noble Rome.

Ah, a couple of free hours before a busy week.
Heading out of Baghdad for Bushire, Persia. (Or nowadays, Bushehr, Iran) Persia's main port for centuries, but no longer.
-Mike
A great aircraft for this event. Was on my possibility list. Enjoy.
Thanks, Robert. This is one of the all time greats for FS9 (and now FSX) by Milton Shupe and his colleagues. Great credit to them!
Down safely in Bushire (Bushehr). Now, where is that bar? ... What funny look? I'm looking for a cold, refreshing, Orange Fanta.

Watch out for a peculiar weather phenomena known as "permafig" as you enter Indian airspace...

Yep, permafig. A well known to Flight 19 meteorological phenomenon.
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
Delightful flight over Persia. Through a few storms but all good. Then approaching Karachi, I encountered the permafig. Had to get out the bumper feelers to find the Drigh Road Aerodrome.
Down safely.

Allahabad bound...over barren deserts and tiger-infested jungles. Oh my.
-Mike
A cold beer and a hot curry. Sounds just right.
We'll have the Beech twins, of two generations, criss-cross here in India.
-Mike
Down safely in Allahabad. Looking for Jeff and the cold beer. (Was worried about British India. But good to have fellow Yanks who appreciate a COLD beer and HOT curry.)

A couple of Kodaks. First, setting out from Karachi as dawn breaks over the Indian subcontinent.
And then, switching off at Allahabad and asking directions into town looking for a fellow Yank.
