    Just for kicks, I am trying a long haul flight: OIBK to VABB

    Not sure if the computer or Duenna or I can handle it but here goes.

    I have the baton.

    After 3 hours and 315nm, all is well ... flying in the deep abyss of fog ... about 7.5 hours and 815nm to go.

    EDIT: MM reminded me that I had to do VIAL (WHOOPS!) so redirecting to OPKC just 4 hours away. Fortunately not too far out of route.

    LOL Well, I am going to change again to OPJI so that others can take advantage of all the NDB's between there and VIAL, and so that I can get back on the AT-11 that's calling my name. And, I hate to lose 4 hours of progress to a possible FSX hickup.

    Well, this thing has been sitting in the dust too long.

    Time to get it to Karachi for the scheduled oil change and a wash.

    OPJI to OPKC (maybe.. I'm not sure about the fuel in that drum at the airport)

    By Pasni at 45, estimating Ormara at 30 next hour, climbing to 5000 as it looks like there's a bit more breeze.

    Mostly clear skies and barren desert

    Safely Released the Melrose Baton at Kota (VIKO)

    ASA calling visibility 2 in Haze, and it looked it, making pilotage next to impossible. Winds at altitude are non-existent.

    lol just as I say that about pilotage, I pass over a "pond" (if identified correctly) that puts me slightly south of course.

    Hmmmm, looks like this weather will be persistent all the way with no intermediate airports for a wx refresh.
