Flight 19's European Vacation

We left LTAL and headed on west to Istanbul. Nice flight and the weather made up for the last one. Also great conversation enroute....
 
:salute:Hi all,

Here are a few photos of last nights flight. Before takeoff, pictures of MM and Willy enroute. I was doing pretty good until I forgot to check the speed on descent and over stressed the C-47. Oh well, there is always tomorrow! hehe
 
We had a nice flight through the Dardanelles and Gallipoli to the Grecian island of Limnos (LGLM) even with the fog, wind shifts and a rather obnoxious foo fighter in a supersonic Cessna.
 
:salute:Howdy,

This was a very good flight! But this old boy got carried away with the picture taking box. Oh, by the way, I did make a fairly good landing, and this time without overstressing the aircraft.
 
Got me one of those mail order 4 fuel tank kits from DC-3 Airways and added it to the Goon. Threw my center of gravity towards the tail and almost killed me on take off. But I managed to get enough trim and elevator to bring the nose back down and fly on towards Tripolis AB.

Pretty nice flight, but when I got slowed down on landing the tail came down hard again. Anyway, I've got a 4 tank kit for a DC-3 that I'll make someone a good deal on.
 
:wavey: Well, I went wild with the picture taking box. It was a nice flight from LGLB to LGTP Ah...we did have some questionable weather as usual with Flight 19, the weather god really doesn't like us very much, I think. I had some problems locating the airport for some reason, but I finally spotted it as Willy was making his approach. Wow! boy did his landing look goooood! A perfect three point landing! But when he touched the ground all heck broke loose!
