Moses' CINCOMPAC SWPAC FUBAR SNAFU

[Moses03]

Down safe at AYPY. Was nearly on top on the field when we dove in. Cecil likes to keep the canopy open because of the frequent airsickness when I'm at the controls...

Going to go find a nice big palm tree, sit under it and write me Mum a nice letter.

Nice smooth final approach there.

 

[PRB]

Nice speed brakes.

 

[Moses03]

Blasting off to Lae, AYPY to AYNZ.

 

[Moses03]

Nice crisp flight to Lae. Bit of a tailwind again too.

[Moses03]

Short hop, AYNZ to GSP.

 

[Moses03]

Followed the highway right on in.

[Moses03]

Pressing on to Wewak. GSP to AYWK.

 

[Moses03]

Safe at AYWK. Nice flight save for a bounce or two at the end.

[Moses03]

Heading out to Biak (WABB).

 

[Moses03]

Here is the paperwork for the WABB run. SOH was offline when I landed last night.

[Moses03]

Time to get moving. WABB to WAMR.

 

[Moses03]

Safely down at WAMR.

Nearly had a SNAFU when my 5yr old son decided to play with the yoke buttons while I was using the relief tube. Came back to a sputtering Helldiver on the verge of plunging into the deep blue.

Note: We don't need no stinking drifty gauge! Was only 3 degrees off when the adf needle jumped to life after covering 450 miles. :mixedsmi:

[PRB]

Good dead reckoning, I reckon. And good job not wreckin after jr. tried to fly the plane...

 

[Willy]

Came back to a sputtering Helldiver on the verge of plunging into the deep blue.

He must of told it how much better the SBD Dauntless was. :d

 

[Moses03]

Let's see if we can wrap this up. Saddling up for RPMD.

He must of told it how much better the SBD Dauntless was. :d

Well, at least I have a proper Navy plane-my wings fold!

 

[Moses03]

Finished

Safe at home. Finally hit some bad weather with a line of strong thunderstorms and heavy wind near the destination. Was getting a bit seasick up there. The last screenie shows a burst of lightning reflecting off the cowl and underside of plane.
