Robert's Cape to Cape adventure

[salt_air]

I was just in GW3 at FAYP ... testing for another run.

You need to go there and check out a building crash I encountered just barely off to the west of RWY 20.

One foot on the runway and one foot off .... turning to park ... say three quarters of the way to the end ... there's no building there at all.

If that happens to you too, then I would go ahead to each airport (menu Go to Airport) and have a check.





Cheers,

Thanks Salt. The coral runways are usually easy to spot, but the grass ones blend right into the scenery.
Just did a test at FAYP, no crashes with three different aircraft. Nice fall colors down there.

Off to Casablanca.
GMFZ to GMMC.

Down at GMMC.
Heard about an interesting nightclub here, run by an American. Might have to check it out.

... a lot of the runways are turned into grass or dirt .... gives a nice ol'time feelin' ... but it's sure tough trying to find an airport you've never seen before.

Forget about lights ... you better be there by dark.

Hat's off to you Sir!

Great Job Robert!

Robert, kudos indeed !

Had a good time last night. French authorities released us, and we are ready to go. Thanks Teson, much fun in GW.
GMMC to GMAA.

[robert41]

Down at GMAA.
Took off in a storm and a pretty good crosswind/headwind in flight, then came out of the clouds a little ways from the airport.

Time for a long one. GMAA to GMMH.

[robert41]

Down at GMMH. That was a long 380nm before picking up the NDB 37nm out. The 25 to 30kt crosswind blew me a little bit off course, but not too bad.

GMMH to GQPP.

[robert41]

Safe down at GQPP.
Had a glitch this flight, message said, lost internet connection, restart real weather. So I restarted real world weather during the flight. Happened twice. Duenna is green.
Sent a telegram to Miss Nellie explaining what happened. Will wait here while she looks this over.
