• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

One hell of a headwind and later crosswind. TWI windgauge was right on the money.

Robert; Congrats on finishing the event. Helluva ordeal, but lots of fun (and "some" frustrations)..
 
Thanks everyone. A most incredible journey. Took abit to get used to the high altitude flying. Most important part was planning. Although a few of these flights, I failed to plan enough and came out very lucky. Namely SKBG. I only have a wind gauge, clock and NDB's when avalible, still do not know how to use the VOR. One fubar, but I blame this on the snake that got loose. Still celebrating at Salta.
