My PC crashed about 2 minutes into the flight. I think i know the problem so am restarting.
Hope it doesn't do it when i'm 5 hours into the flight :)
 
Very nice flight across the Atlantic. Picked up the NDB on the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago about as good as could be hoped for. Winds very ok the whole way and descent was pretty good to. I'll be glad to get back to some shorter hops soon though.

Great flight until right on landing when No2 engine caught fire. Fortunately we were able to do a calm evacuation and put the fire out quickly before any damage was done. Gonaa need a big overhaul before the short hop to the final destination. Fingers crossed that we're going to find any spare parts we need.

Wow!

Always looking for a way to make a long aircraft flight just a wee bit more interesting?
 
And so for the final leg. All engines have been overhauled and triple checked after the fire incident. A faulty fuel pipe was the cause, so all engines have had them replaced, just to be sure.
