    Safely down in Vienna. Got caught in some turbulence over Germany and crept over 12,000ft for a few moments, hope that's OK.

    Mick, no worries on the momentary "bump" up over 12,000 ft. You were cruising at about 11,000 so not really pushing the envelope. While you might have been a bit high for a brief period, the tracking evidence says that you were not intentionally flying above the soft ceiling. No problem.

    Safely down at OSAP in the dark. Didn't see the runway until late, hoped it would have been lit!

    Drinks on me!....sort of...?

    Looking pretty good here mate!

    After you get landed and things all sorted out, you can hop a taxi fare not too far from Jinnah Int'l there is a little "joint" called The Elbow Room.

    That's funny innit?...

    Anyway there's an open tab I left there waitin' on ya for food and drinks.

    Yep,,,just add in whatever you want to eat and drink and then take the tab to the cashier and settle up.

    Right, reckon that was a little bit misleading wasn't it?...:isadizzy:

    See if you pay for all of it, then I will be able to stop there on my way back home and can buy us some drinks....

    Happy Days!

    Landed safely at Allahabad.

    Thick cloud all the way but it cleared just as I started descent. Just as well as I forgot to reset the clock at the start so finished up landing in the dark!

    Landing in the dark is always fun in poor visibility

    India seems to have a thick haze over it for most of the pilots.... Perhaps its all the incense...
