***srgalahad*** · October 26th, 2009, 14:26

Warming up the engines and cooling the cabin..

About to set off from VYSW to VTSR

Rob and John said I was off the Team if I didn't take another leg.

***Dangerousdave26*** · October 27th, 2009, 15:44

And we are in Cruise Mode...

Be in Singapore in less than 2 hrs.

We're a tough group. No more whining or I do no more wx recon. :d

Check spelling: Sinapore

P.S. wx is VFR

P.S.S. Race committee, is it illegal to haul a teammate to altitude for release!

***Dangerousdave26*** · October 27th, 2009, 17:32

Down and Safe

Stuff to follow

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 10:14

I hate headwinds!

Current wx shows mostly 7-10kts on the nose @ cruise altitude. Think I'll have another coffee and watch for a bit.

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 14:06

The Dutch East Indies becon.....

WSSL to WRBB

Someone put on the curry pot

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 14:28

VIAGRA Ops from F-ASTR:
let crew at WAAA know I may extend flight to their location if winds favourable
Will advise nearer WRBB

***Dangerousdave26*** · October 29th, 2009, 14:43

So what your saying is Team Viagra may make the flight longer.

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 15:07

but still less than 'four hours'....

In the case of deciding to go to WAAA it may be a case of "once up, stay up"

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 16:40

Enough gas, tolerable winds.. Destination changed to WAAA

Off I go across the water.

5 sm vis but there's an ILS!

***srgalahad*** · October 29th, 2009, 17:58

Safe and sound on the ground at WAAA aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Lovely, clear and virtually nilw wind.. and then the goo at 2000 ft.. but still VFR

**jkcook28** · November 6th, 2009, 16:36

OK, we're partied out at Ujung Pandang, so moving on to Darwin; fuel permitting...

**jkcook28** · November 6th, 2009, 19:37

Down and green Darwin.

**Spookster67** · November 6th, 2009, 21:45

Wow, you guys are really flying along! I reckon you are just over 10 minutes faster than anyone else to Darwin.

You are making it very hard (for anyone else to beat you). Keep it up!!

***srgalahad*** · November 11th, 2009, 11:02

OK, enough of the wonderful hospitality of Darwin... Onward!

YPDN to PBMA (Mt. Isa) in spite of the forecast headwinds.

***srgalahad*** · November 11th, 2009, 13:49

.... and down... YBMA
Dancing with the winds all the way.. left, right, up, down...

Could have been better

**jkcook28** · November 21st, 2009, 07:34

Winds look good so we're off to Charleville (YBCV)

**jkcook28** · November 21st, 2009, 09:27

Down at YBCV.

***srgalahad*** · November 21st, 2009, 11:18

Time for the "big one"

YBCV to YMEN
Precision estimate 2:22:00 (I'd love to say 2:22:22 but that's being a bit 'retentive')

Tough estimate with forecast 50+knot tailwinds along the way

Online, FS9 RWWx, fingers crossed.

***srgalahad*** · November 21st, 2009, 13:42

IT'S ALL OVER!!
Down at YMEN

As for the estimate.. well.. 62 kts of quartering tailwind blew it.. but at least I didn't fly around in the 1-3 mile vis and find a tall building...
