[Highmike]

I have the baton EGUN - LFML in the Spartan.

Good luck to all the adventurers taking part in this recreation of our glorious past!

Baton free at LFML.

Mixed bad of winds over Western Europe this morning. Clear blue skies over England, but getting progressively overcast approaching the Mediterranean.

 

[Highmike]

I have the baton LFML - LIRA in the Spartan.

 

[Highmike]

Baton free at LIRA.

Good tail wind all the way! Here's a nice shot of the Spartan over the Mediterranean Sea:

I have the baton LIRA - LGAT in the Spartan.

 

[Highmike]

Baton free at LGAT.

Bumpy ride most of the way! Lost Otto at one stage until I found the avionics switch; thanks for the comprehensive VC Milton!

 

[Milton Shupe]

Looking good my friend ... charge!

 

[Highmike]

Okay, let's check out Syria: LGAT - OSAP

 

[Highmike]

Made it to OSAP.

IMC for the first half - only the inside of clouds to look at. Cloudless sky over Syria.

 

[Highmike]

Off to see my Dad - Baghdad. OSAP - ORBI

 

[Highmike]

Landed okay at ORBI.

Very late descending, so I had to circle the field several times.

[Highmike]

Looking for evidence of ancient Mesopotamia. ORBI - OIBB

 

[Highmike]

Down safe at OIBB.

What do pilots do to pass the time during long flights?

 

[Highmike]

I hope the weather's clear at Jask - no NDB! OIBB - OIZJ

 

[Highmike]

Down safe at OIZJ.

I guess there's no NDB here because the sky is always blue.

 

[Highmike]

Let's leave Persia behind us. OIZJ - OPKC

 

[Highmike]

Down safe at OPKC.

The weather updated just after I landed, and it didn't look too good!

 

[Highmike]

Criss-crossing across India today - not many NDBs. Heading for my compulsory stop at Allahabad. OPKC - VIAL

 

[Highmike]

Down safe at VIAL.

I got so lucky with the weather. The first shot shows visibility on final, and the second shows how the weather cleared a few moments later. Whew!

 

[Highmike]

Seems I'll be battling through the smog again. VIAL - VECC
