Push Push across the Pacific

Time to get going. Seems some MP's are looking for us. WABB to WA1A.

 

[robert41]

Safe at WA1A.

Clear weather, light winds shifting around some. Was a bit south of course again.
Crossing the Geelvink Bay.
Manokwari. Japanese base.
Approaching Sorong. Very hard to see the airfield till almost on top of it.

Heading out. WA1A to WAMH.

 

[robert41]

Safe at WAMH.

One of the longer flights, but not too bad. Plenty of islands to look at. I split this leg into two parts. First heading to Morotai and it's radio. Then turning for Naha. Clear weather and a headwind all the way. Should of brought more fuel on this one. Landed with 36gal remaining.
Climbing to altitude.
Near Morotai.
Islands in the distance.
Approaching Naha.

Off we go for the last one. WAMH to RP17.

Down at RP17. FSX lock up a few minutes into the flight. One of those 10min wait then it resumes things. Lost connection to duenna. Restarted the flight. And just now my keyboard decides to crap out. Another one installed, seems to be working.
I estimate about 10 minutes of flying before the freeze.

Weather was clear with a little more wind. Mostly a crosswind. Climbed to 12000ft.
Passing (make that) Sarangani Bay.
Landing at Malita.

Please go ahead and start a tab at the bar for the rest of us.
