Rather than risk having to attempt a night landing with no lights in Athens (at an airfield that I've never been to before), I decided to spend the night at Brindisi and take off at before dawn to go on to Athens. Setting up for take off now...

Have a great flight!

Crash Landing at LGTT. The landing got totally out of control and when it took a big bounce just above stall speed, I knew it was going to prang on the next touchdown.

Looks like LCRA in Cyprus is going to be it. Probably about another hour or so.

Landed in one piece for a change in LCRA with 16% fuel. Not much reserve left there.

Looks like I have some time to fly. Let's see if I can find Baghdad..

Head East, when you spot a large river follow it South East, look for a big lake and then it's about five minutes East of there. Worked for me!Originally Posted by Willy
There's sure not much in the way of NDBs on this one! Just trying to hold course and see what happens.

Got lucky and found that teeny tiny NDB near the Syrian border and made my turn to Baghdad. 250nm with no radio compass. Sounds like a good way to get lost to me...
On another note... I think my old rollerball mouse is about to give up the ghost.. darn left click button is only working about a third of the time.

Made it into Baghdad without too much trouble. Whew...

What the heck? On to Bushier (sp?)

Arrived at OIBB just after the sunset. Fortunately there was just enough light for me to see the runway. Looks like I'll be overnighting here. There's a Sikorsky that's been converted to a motel here and I'll probably spend the night there...

Heading out for a pre-dawn takeoff and the flight to Jask.

Go Willy!
Graham.
Thanks Graham!
Made it to Jask, but got a invalid Duenna and I'm not at all sure why as I didn't crash or anything else untoward. I did mess around with the flight planner a couple of time including a slight change in it. Going to put it to Mrs Nellie and see if the flight is valid or not.

A quick look at the detailed log suggests the nefarious "change of aircraft" reading. Just going to assume that you did not switch to the Granville Brothers SR-71 model for one second. Things look ok, pending an investigation by Slipstick Williams and his crack investigation team. You should proceed and for the moment ignore the errors.

Thanks!
I've updated the data with the particulars for the flight. Hope to get re-started heading to Melbourne (with a few stops along the way) this afternoon.

Slipstick Williams and the boys have given you the green light.

Just passed the Gwadar radio beacon. About halfway to Karachi.

I might be in trouble. There's a big sign on the airfield that says "Welcome Infidel"...
