Paul, can you divert to EGYM; otherwise we are short 20-odd miles for final leg or over-distance penalty.
please advise...

[PRB]

I was all set to get up on "teamsqueak", installed on my second (comms) computer, but then realised that the audio output from that box goes into the same amp as the flight box. Oops. I'll have to get a cheap set of speakers for the old comm box before the race.

ETE 00:19. About to go "feet wet" over the chennel.

[jkcook28]

YO PAUL!!! We need that divert to EGYM. Or we face (2) (two) (too) legs into short, unlit airports next. Houston, come in Houston.....:karate:

Edit; well one leg for sure but extra baton pass and short un-needed legs too.

[PRB]

Starting down. 65 miles.

[PRB]

Baton free at EGYC.

That landing was wild. Viz was perfect, but the winds were all over the compass! Massive wind shifts all the way down to the runway. I was starting to think I could not possibly land like this, but made it after all!

[fliger747]

Now where?

[Dangerousdave26]

Close to next manadtory and go from there.

[MaddogK]

I'll take baton EGYC -> EGXC in simshed Tucano
