    Same weather as before. Clear, 10kt or so crosswind. A bit rough on take off and landing. The P40 is not very smooth in rough weather.

    Clear but stiff headwinds all the way. Going up and down trying to find better winds. Getting worried about fuel for the last part after Morotai. Dead reckoning was perfect. Had about 5gal fuel left.

    Took plenty of fuel this time. Weather clear, starting with a pretty good 20kt headwind.

    Near Manokwari approaching Geelvink Bay.

    Close on fuel again. 6gal left after landing. Only a just under 10kt headwind this leg, made for better ground speeds.
    Flying past Hollandia. Approaching Hayfield.

    Nice short flight to Gusap. The usual small headwind and clear weather.

    Down safe at JCB. Had one of those 10minute freezes. Reconnected the duenna. Will let Miss Nellie make the call if this leg stands.

    From Miss Nellie: "Proceed with mission."

    Next time I get an FS lockup, I'll wait longer. Usually I wait about 30 seconds then kill it with the task manager...
