I crashed somewhere close to the airport

It was another of those .2 sm of vis approaches.

I could not even see what I hit.

:salute:

Ok, shipmates, one leg left to complete this practice. UIBB is a large airport, with lots of lights and no terrain "issues", and would be a great "first time leg". Any takers? (*Smilo*) :d

you talkin' to me?

sorry Paul, I just saw this.
thanks for the offer, but I am crapped out.
I just got home from a 14 hour work day
that started at 02:00
the good news is
I AM ON VACATION!!!
for three weeks.

 

[srgalahad]

you talkin' to me?


I AM ON VACATION!!!
for three weeks.

OK, so one day to recuperate then ----
If you don't get it on the first try you have 19 more days to work it out

Or, try to catch some of us around here, on TS or online on the MAPE server and we can play multi-wingman

 

[srgalahad]

OK, I can't take the suspense any longer.
There's a tired old Russian P-39 they want ferried to a museum so, since they are paying in Euros I'll give it a go...

UNKL to UIBB
Cr-1 (ex-SimTech) P-39D
Online

 

[jkcook28]

Wingman to ROb.

Yak-3. Maybe enough range. Alert SAR...

 

[Flork]

Practice Run...

 

[srgalahad]

30 minutes out, praying weather holds at (at least) "crummy"

 

[srgalahad]

100 miles, 17 minutes

 

[jkcook28]

Wingie down safe

A whole gallon of gas left over Comrade. :salute:

 

[srgalahad]

Well, unless the rules guys make me refly for being 3min over, it's over...

Baton is free at UIBB

nice old school flying.. no radios, no GPS just point and shoot with a map (sorta)

 

[srgalahad]

did we win ???????????

 

[teson1]

Good practice run, SOH. Cool performance! :salute:
We'll watch you.
And no, you didn't win yet.

 

[PRB]

Well, we did come in first... :d

Well done and a Bravo Zulu to all hands who participated in this first practice, especially to the new faces. Honestly, the real race won't be nearly as bad as this practice was, as far as weather and sunlight. I may have overdone it when I devised a route that would guarantee bad weather for this practice, but, well, it's done. The real race will take us around the world in more southerly latitudes, even though there will be some northern and southern latitude requirements, much like Barrow Alaska was for this practice.
