DNMM to FKKD.

 

[robert41]

Made it to FKKD. Hell of a flight. Great little tail wind most of the way. Then about 50nm out of Douala, the worst storm I have been in, in a long time. Non stop lightning, thunder I could hear over the engines, and rough, otto could not hold it.

[robert41]

FOOL to FZAB.

 

[robert41]

Safe at FZAB. Storms again taking off and for quite some time, very rough. A one point, had to take the reins from otto. Finally cleared the storm, picked up the next ndb and surprised I was right on course. Sorry, no pics, after the back door blew off, the camera went right out with our lunch.

[robert41]

FZAB to FZEA.

 

[robert41]

Safe at FZEA. Clouds when starting out, a little rough, then cleared, plus some real world distractions. Was a little worried near the end, did I miss the airfield, but then the town came into view and the airfield. Plus I could see lightning further up the river, hmm, storms again.

[robert41]

FZEA to FZGA.

 

[robert41]

Safe at FZGA. First half of the flight was stormy, then cleared up. Went direct for Lisala, soon as I intersected the river, climbed up a bit to find the airfield. Should be just beyond a larger island in the river. And sure enough, there it is. The gravel strip stands out well in the rich green landscape.
