Appreciate the encouragement Willy ... I've wanted to "toss" this C-54 around for a while.
Gotta watch the overspeed in this bird ... I've had 2 pilots share already.
Don't know how this last leg into the Philippines is going to go cause I won't be buckin' the saddle for that long.
Where'd you leave the donuts?

Rollin' ... last stop in Indonesia, then over to the Philippines where me and the "crew" will be tossin' back vast quantities of San Miguel.
But first a trip over to Biak
As good as it gets 5 - 10 kt tailwind good vis and straight along the coast.
Safe and sound ... a good night's rest and then the last leg to RPMD

WABB - RPMD ... the journey ends
Outta here in justa bit ... try to find Bangoy Int'l at Davao
No wind on the ground ... vis stinks, but should clear off.
Just over 800 NM ... E6-B in hand and little bit-o-great circle ... should be there in time for lunch.
Breakfast? ... let's just say that there was a shipment of donuts and coffee ... destined for one of the carriers close by ... mis loaded on to this aircraft.
I'll be sure to let the authorities know the minute I get to Davao, Philippines.
[walks off to the ramp snapping his fingers in a slow shuffle beat while whistling a tune that sounds a lot like "On the Good Ship Lollipop"].
These are the last of the duennas for this event .... and what a great event it was .... thank you!!!!
