Craig's Scootin' around the SEA

[Craig Taylor]

Well, my streak of never running a mistake-free race remains unbroken. I think I must have grazed a ridge somewhere in the central highlands. I was cutting it a little fine...

Let's try this again...

Going to knock out the last two legs today. First stop - Nha Trang (VVNT). And...it's raining, of course.

[Craig Taylor]

Down safely at VVNT. Hot turn and on to Tansonnhat (VVTS)!

And some kodaks from the last flight.

Enroute


Another day at the office. Finally out of the highlands, so I can switch the terrain radar off...


"Final" final...slow, need to add power. Don't want to risk a ramp strike!


Done!

[PRB]

Well done, Craig!

[Craig Taylor]

Thanks Paul! First one of these I've managed to finish in a loooong time.

Using jets really helped and was great fun. I'm sorry I ran out of time to try something else. I tried a helo between Hanoi and Catbi to see if I could manage it, and it took FOREVER. There's no way i was going to fly one for the entire course. Tip of the hat to anyone else who tries.

And you got the coveted chequered flag.

[Ron Attwood]

It's not the winning, it's the taking part...and finishing.

[Craig Taylor]

And you got the coveted chequered flag.

Yay!

Thanks!

Congrats on the chequers!
