    The r/l T-storms have passed (lots more local flooding) so I'm going to head on down to Oregon. CYZT -> KLMT

    The flight from hell. AVG and FS9 decided they didn't want to play well together about halfway through and I kept getting error messages pop up about FS files that couldn't be read, aircraft textures disappearing for 10 mins at a time, and then when I land, I have duenna files, but when I come out of FS, I don't have duenna files. I did find a validation image for the flight titled $Output and the System Log for the flight.

    I'm going to leave it to the comittee about whether or not to re-fly it.

    The committee says to either re-fly or extrapolate my fuel usage. Like I told them, at this point I'm just wanting to get across the finish line so I'll extrapolate the kerosene burn.

    Time this leg: 01:14:43
    Total time: 21:01:48
    Fuel this leg: 3300 *
    Total fuel: 61861.7

    Total Country Bonus: 5:30 hours (not included in total time)
    Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Macau, Hong Kong, Formosa, Japan, Canada

    * I've been averaging around 3000lbs fuel burn per flight. Short flights, I've been flying with full throttle, but longer flights of about 575nm or greater, I've been throttling back to get the fuel mileage to make it to destination. 3300 is pretty high for the Pulqui and I'm positive it's well over what was actually burned, so I'll use it. I double checked my fuel burns and I've yet to burn over 3200 on a flight, so 3300 is a good figure.

    My Twin Beech is supposed to be waiting on me down the road at the Happy Bottom Riding Club. I just hope that Pancho hasn't gotten too attached to it...
