Flying the Aer Lingus Beoing B377 Stratocruiser from Dublin to Schiphol for the start of the event
 
Nice flight to Schipol with great winds all the way
(Had a hardware failure on approah, Track IR went haywire on me, meaning i missed my FAP and had to do an about face turn)
 
After a few hours for some maintenance we're finally ready for the first leg.

As the Irish like to do things a little differently, i've been instructed to use my wildcard and fly directly to Lisbon

Boeing 377 from LIML to LPPT

TOW=136651lbs
Payload=35840lbs

ADI & Oil=1707lbs
 
Landed at LPPT. Almost the perfect flight. Light headwinds almost straight off the nose the whole way, i hit every NDB spot on (even after some not coming active) and i got the descent exactly right followed by a kiss of a touchdown.
A highly enjoyable 3 hours

Landing weight=119753.6 lbs
Adi & Oil Weight=1129
ADI & Oil used=578

Fuel used = 16320.2

Off to Casablanca.
Flying the Boeing B377 LPPT-GMMC

TOW=1249021lbs
Payload=35840lbs

ADI & Oil=1707lbs
 
Landed safely at GMMC. Descended way too early as i didn't trust my calculations, which turned out to be correct. The runway NDB was out too and i ended up a little of course. But down and safe which is all that matters.

Landing weight=118133.5 lbs lbs
Adi & Oil Weight=1328
ADI & Oil used=379

Fuel used = 6346
