    Ok, made it to Cairo with 7% fuel left. Problem is that I should have flown to Alexandria instead so I could make the checkpoint. Now the question is "How do I fly from Cairo to Alexandria with only 7% fuel as I sure don't want to have to pickup an extra 45 minutes of ground time here. Going to have do some studying on this one...

    Once this Antonov on the runway ahead of me gets out of the way, I'll be headed for somewhere in the Balkans.

    Landed at LDZD in Croatia (I think). It's 2:30 in morning local and I think I'm going to wait until just before dawn to takeoff. The Alps are on the next leg and I don't want to try to fly through 'em in the dark.
