PRB / Qantas / Pacific / It's On

Made it up to 18,000 feet. Oil temp going back to the green part of the gauge. Weather over the Pacific is a bit nasty today, with heavy cloud cover all around. Pago Pago has a 112 mile NDB station. Doesn't get much better than that.
 
Down safe at Pago Pago (NSTU) A fun approach and landing too. Visibility was pretty crappy, but I'll net not nearly as bad as you blokes flying around in Northern Europe..!

On a semi related note, I'm selfishly happy to see that the Google Maps people have the same problem drawing a line between two points on the globe when they are on opposite sides of the international date line! That problem kicked my butt for some time, but I did solve it... Hehe.
 
Ok, time to fly. Off to Rarotonga (NCRG.) Using the "Highmike Navigation Method", I should alter course by 1 degree to the north half way there.

TOW = 115,555 LBS
FUEL = 15,048 LBS
P/L = 20,600 LBS
 
We're bucking fierce headwinds now.

Well, ok, so it's a 6 knot headwind. But it is a headwind, and I've had strong tail winds up to now!
 
Down safe @ NTGJ. I wonder what this would be like in a B-17... Next leg will be a long one!
