• 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.

Same weather as before. Clear, 10kt or so crosswind. A bit rough on take off and landing. The P40 is not very smooth in rough weather.

Clear but stiff headwinds all the way. Going up and down trying to find better winds. Getting worried about fuel for the last part after Morotai. Dead reckoning was perfect. Had about 5gal fuel left.

Took plenty of fuel this time. Weather clear, starting with a pretty good 20kt headwind.

Near Manokwari approaching Geelvink Bay.

Down safe at JCB. Had one of those 10minute freezes. Reconnected the duenna. Will let Miss Nellie make the call if this leg stands.
