• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

First flight for ages with headwinds. Made it a bit tight on fuel but nothing to worry about Beautiful blue sea around Thailand and then terrible visibility on landing again.
 
Back to a slight tailwind again. Trip went very nicely.
Sorry for the late post, i had to go eat my dinner :)
 
Had to drop a few thousand feet to catch the tailwinds. Went pretty good. Going to have a quick turnaround for the next leg
 
Decided to land at H Hasan Aroeboesman (WATE). Surrounded by hills which made for quite a steep approach. But well worth the effort as it's an absolutely beautiful place. Think i may stop here for a while and see what the natives have to offer.
 
We have landfall on Australasia (although i promise i never "fell"). Uneventful flight over the ocean. Mild headwinds but not too bad.
 
Oops, ran out of fuel and crashed 2.3 miles from the runway. Near enough to haul all the pieces to the airport for the mechanics to put it back together for the return trip. While i go and get myself i nice cool beer :)
