    I've flown the last 5 legs to finish the event, but currently can't seem to attach any kind of a picture file. I'll just attach the text files for now.

    SBSV - SBRJ

    TOW 49979

    I decided to combine a few legs and had to fly this one twice. The first time I got within ADF distance and the power here went off. I reflew it the next nignt.

    Landed in IFR conditions on radio silence. Stinson was landing on 20L, so I landed on 20R.

    Sbrj - sbsp

    TOW 42409

    Short hop from Rio to Sao Paulo. Foggy as heck at SBSP and if it wasn't for the ADF needle, I'd never have found the right airport.

    Good flight with excellant weather on landing. Real smooth into the last airport for Brazil. After I'd landed and the Duenna stopped, FS crashed to desktop on me. Good thing I already got the good Duenna.
