Time to move the Skymaster out of Pakistan. The parking fees are getting ridiculous. Think I'll fly her to Allahabad with a possible divert to Agra if necessary.

Took off at 0420 local.. climbing out towards VIAL
0630 about halfway between Jodhpur and Allahabad. Just wish the winds would quit shifting around.
Landed safely at Allahabad for the 2nd checkpoint after a 750+nm flight across the land of the permanent fog.
Got a valid duenna jpg without a map but for some silly reason, it didn't generate a flight log .txt file. I've included the system log file instead.
I've sent word to the ground crew in Allahabad to have the CDM ready. I'm about to run out of airports in the Twin Beech. I also told them to give PRB's cinderblocks that were under the back seat to a local construction crew...
Catching a late night flight back up to Allahabad from Melbourne to pick up the Cessna. Good thing I'm not flying as I need to sleep off all that "nitro" at the Windsor.
Let's get this thing back in the air. Time to head for the coast....
Re-entry has commenced..... into a t-storm
Landed at VEBS with a green duenna.

Interesting that there's two control towers at VEBS for such a small airport.
I've got a plan... it at least has the distinction that no one else has tried it yet..... should be "interesting".
Uh oh! Last time I heard that we ended up in some third world country with small arms fire whizzing about.Originally Posted by Willy
Whats a little small arms fire and a few tossed grenades between friends?Uh oh! Last time I heard that we ended up in some third world country with small arms fire whizzing about.
Okay, if I hang around here much longer I'll have to put an Indian tail number on the CDM. Off to Coco Island and maybe a bit further if the fuel situation looks promising.
0330 AM local: At cruise altitude over the Bay of Bengal. Phuket is looking doubtful, so I'll settle for Coco Island. Got a little bit of a tailwind. Beats a headwind.
Due to operator error, I'm going to have to restart the flight...
(note to self: when checking the duenna in flight, do NOT click on the red x in the upper right corner....)
Restarting flight as soon as I can get back in the air....
Leveled off at cruise alt. Not messing with the Duenna until I'm at a complete stop.
Down, safe and with a green duenna at Coco Island (VYCI). It's all part of the plan :d

Saddling up for the flight to Phuket, Thailand
And another piece of the plan falls into place at Phuket.

Leaving Phuket for Singapore and the third checkpoint....
Leveled off at cruise altitude. There's some pretty heavy t-storms south of Phuket.
Pretty cool.. the closer I get to Singapore, the more Speedbird call signs I'm hearing.
Another good landing (and a checkpoint) in the bag for the plan.

And of course some pics......
Took off for Pontiak.... might find a car there
Edit: It's a really nice day for flying and was going to divert to WRBB a few hundred more miles down the line, but forgot that I'd not filled the tanks... so it's back to Pontiak for now...
As part of the backup plan, got a green duenna at Pontiak.

As soon as I can get refueled, I'm back up heading for WRBB.
Came in a little hot and high which wasn't in the plan, but it worked out in the end and I'm safe at WRBB. Now to go out and see about some of that gold and diamonds..er.. I mean "commodities" that someone mentioned.....
