:untroubled: I'll be darn, here we are again.

Nice flight from Imphal (VEIM) to Kengtung (VYKG), Darn, it getting harder and harder to spell this here places, and I sure ain't going to try to say them. Well folks, we are now on our way to Hanoi, and I have no idea why. Some conversation about where we will be flying after Hanoi, and it looks like we maybe like the old tramp steamer of old just traveling to little known places. A couple of things, Things should be interesting, and I hope all the folks are friendly. Oh, one more thing, sure hope they have a McDonalds. hehe.
 
:devilish: LOL, here we are again,

We left Kengtung (VYKG) and with all are glory flew onto Hanoi (VVNB). Along the way, while day dreaming, I spotted a couple of Mig-15s, and so I thought I would have a little fun. It didn't last to long they put the metal to the pedal, or whatever pedal to the metal, any way they took off like a pair of hunting falcons. I just fired a quick burst just to let them know I was there. hehe. I really think they didn't care I was even around. Then the weather turned sour on us, and all the way into Hanoi couldn't see a thing for the doggone fog.I couldn't find the airport, and for sure I thought someone stole the bloody airport. When I did see it I was a little over speed and high, so full speed brakes and flap, throttle full back and diving. hehe. Susprise, We all landed safetly!
 
:wavey:Hi again,

Here are some pictures from flight 19 from Hanoi (VVNB) to DaNang (VVDN) I deverted from the flight plan and headed for the coast of Vietnam to check out some of the places where a little bit of fighting may have taken place. And to do some fun flying. Note pictue, flying upside down, and doing a few rolls etc. Now thats what I call fun, maybe next time will have time to play a little cat and mouse.
 
:redfire: Hello,

%$#&*^# darn picture taking machine just took black pictures except for the one where we landed. A nice flight from DaNang (VVDN) to Hochiminh (VVTS)(Saigon). Doing a little R&R here in Saigon, really getting all the needed paper work done so we can contintue on our junket. Seem having some American fighter jets, and one jet from Sweden have caused some concerns here. The Migs no problem. Wow! the city sure has changed since the last time we were here. hehe.
 
:pirate: It's me.

We are back in the air again after a little R&R in Saigon (VVTS) and headed for (VTSM) Samui. A well known tourist spot, but due to our travel agent we are blowing in, blowing off, and blowing out. No R&R here! Alas, it was a good flight we were three out of five flying, and the two other should catch up today. The Mig and Cutlass needed some little repairs.

Some one along the flight called MM's plane a PORKY SWEDE, hehe, but when that PORKY hit Altitude it flew like a bat out of heck. Darn, I had a heck of a time trying to keep up with PORKY!
 
Funky 50's indeed.

:very_drunk: Just a couple of shots of before and after from our flight from Suamui (VTSM) to Kerteh (WMKE). Enjoying the flight so much forgot to take any more pictures. Oops!
 
:indecisiveness: Howdy,

Just a couple of snaps of last nights flight. Today is another R&R time, will see you again Tuesday morning.
 
Bent the wings a little bit

:adoration: Wow! its a good morning here in New Mexico!

Had a great flight from WGBB to WBKL, But, we the pilots of flight 19 was wondering where in the heck are we? I think that the next junket, our great and what ever, Travel agent will need to go with us, and maybe he just might get lost in some water town in some small country.

I think Willy is a born horse trader here with all the aircrafts he seems to find in some of the far away places we travel! The high light of our flights is"What the heck is he going to fly this time!"

CYA later
 
:beaten: Good morning

A few pictures from last nights flight. All in all a very nice flight. We landed at a place I have no idea where it is, and no McDonalds! But what the heck, we ain't been here before so that is something.
 
My pic from last night...

  • :biggrin-new: Howdy,

    Just a few shorts of previous flights. The party is almost over, big problem is getting all these birds repaired and flyable at the same time. Where are we! your guess is as good as mine. As noted by Moses the big race is just around the corner, and looking forward to it. Think about this, maybe you all just might join in the fun of the race, hope to see you there.

    Hehe, Oops, screwed up and got a picture of the plane that I hope to fly in the L&M
 
  • :encouragement:Hi there!
    Well, the party is over with our landing at AYPY. It has bee a lot of fun and great conversations along the way. Now the bad part, hehe caught a hop back to the States in a Air Force B-36 heading for Nellis AFB in Nevada. But these Air Force clowns forgot to mention that we were going from the nice, warm weather of the South Pacific to the USA king size ice box! Alaska! For refueling and a couple of days R&R, and me with me summer duds.
    • :snowman:
    :snowman: And again see you all on Flight 19 next adventures.
