Rob O. / Golden Age / DH.88 Comet

Taking the Baton from Charleville :australia: to Melbourne :australia: (YBCV-YMEN)

"For the Precision Challenge my Estimated Flight Time Enroute to Melbourne is: 3hrs 23minutes"
 
Have successfully released the Baton at Melbourne :australia: (YMEN)

phew! btw (also btw... excuse me as crowd is going wild :p: )

Winds at pattern altitude descending into Melbourne were NW @ 9kts... so I planned left traffic for 35... then on downwind saw @ 19kts and was "oh boy... just great." However on rollout winds were calm! Go figure!
