Well a late start is better than nothing at all so here goes.....hope all my ducks are in the same pond!

Skyking53 is flying from EGUN to EDDF in the Cessna 414 Chancellor

.....now it's on to Melbourne!
 
Landed safely at EDDF
Was pretty much an uneventful flight. Had around a 25 knt tail wind the entire way and encountered some haze at Frankfurt, but everything went well. On to Leg 2.....
 
Down safely at LOWW.

It was a nice flight, again mainly uneventful. Arrived in Vienna just after sundown. Think I'll spend the night and get some sleep.....

Skyking53 -- Modern General Aviation Class -- Cessna 414 Challanger

Have arrived at LROP in beautiful Bucharest, Romania.

Flight went well and was able to sneak into the airport between light rain storms. Climbed to 13,000 ft along the way -- my highest so far, but then there's always tomorrow.....
 
Landed successfully at LTAC in beautiful Ankara, Turkey. Another leg closer to Melbourne! While flying over the Black Sea, I marveled at the amount of water below me. Then I realized I was only looking at the surface. Something perhaps for one to ponder during long, uneventful flights.....

Drat! A computer glitch or something caused a "Fatal Error" and therefore an aborted flight from LTAC to LTCH. However, since I am using this race as a learning experience, I will fly this leg again, to include pictures for the press this time.

Landed safely at last in majestic Sanliurfa, Turkey (LTCH). Can't wait to sample some of the local fare -- only hope my stomach agrees with me when we're finished.....

Skyking53
 
Busted!! Suffered another "Fatal Error" which caused the flight to abort. Need to track down the culprit, initiate a remedy, and fly this leg again.....

Finally put down at ORBI! WooHoo!!!

Ah, the enchanting city of Baghdad, capital and largest city of Iraq. Think maybe I'll take some time to stroll around one of the local market places. Might find that perfect souvenir just waiting to be had -- perhaps a special lamp or one-of-a-kind carpet. Who knows.....

Skyking53
 
Back in the air once again -- taking off from ORBI enroute to OIBB.

Hoping for clear skies and a stiff tailwind.....

Skyking53
 
Down safely at OIBB in Bushehr, Iran. A good flight. Experienced some lightning and thunder shortly after leaving Baghdad. A good tailwind never fully developed, but made pretty good time anyway. Hoping for a little more interesting scenery in the future however.....
