    Climbed too high for this short leg. Had to dive through the clouds to find the airfield. Very hazy day in Hanoi.

    Starting second leg Hanoi to Dien Bien Phu.



    Descended a little to early but did not want to do a dive bomb approach.

    Congratulations on a delightful run. Your consistently great screenshots gave real life to the event.
    Not to mention pretty good speed for that piston-engined trainer.
