Skyking53 - Modern GA - Cessna 414 Chancellor

Down with no problems at OIZJ, Jask, Iran. Fairly uneventful flight with nothing much to see but sand, sea, and sky so didn't snap any worthwhile pictures. Maybe things will improve next leg.....

Down at OPKC in captivating Karachi, Pakistan. Was a pretty hazy arrival with visibility only 4 miles, but all went well. Ahhh, Karachi! According to my sources, it is not only Pakistan's largest city, main seaport , and financial mecca, but also the 3rd largest city in the world by population. Only goes to figure there should be something going on somewhere I suppose, so I had better bring my logbook up to date then venture out for a quick look around.....

WOW! Imagine the next leg in that cockpit, 3 hours and Delhi-Belly!! :pop4:
 
Down and parked at VIAL in charming Allahabad, India, located on the confluence on the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers and the second compulsory checkpoint on the sky-road to Melbourne. My co-pilot, "Moose" Johansson, tells me the world's first official airmail delivery left Allahabad on February 18, 1911. How he knows these things I'll never understand.....

Here we are, safe and sound at VECC in Kolkata, India, formerly known as Calcutta, on the east bank of the River Hooghly. With a surrounding population exceeding 15 million, there are plenty of folks out there to meet. Moose says he knows a little place that serves up a delightful "macher jhol" (fish curry) with rice, and to top it off a tantalizing "mishti doi" (sweet yoghurt) for dessert. Hey, what a guy......

Good stuff Randy!! Wishing you continued safe passage ...
 
Made it all the way to VYYY in magnificent Yangon, Myanmar. Also known as Rangoon and the former capital of Burma, I'm told the climate here is "tropical monsoon". However, Moose heartily assures me that November marks the end of the rainy season. Still, I wonder where I stowed that umbrella.....

Down at VTSB in Surat Thani, Thailand..... Think I'll refuel, grab a bite eat, and then push on for Singapore.

Down at WSSL in the sovereign city-state of Singapore, the smallest nation in Southeast Aisa and the third compulsory checkpoint stop on our journey to Melbourne. Looks like we made it just in time too, with the sun rapidly setting and a whopper of a storm brewing. Moose and I need to hurry up and get this baby tied down before it gets any darker cause there's certainly a feel of rain in the air.....

Skyking53 is down at WIHH. I must regretfully inform the committee however, that the landing did not go well this time and a crash did occurred at that time. Both pilots are fine and I believe the damage can successfully be repaired in short order. Cause of incident has not yet been determined beyond poor piloting. Repairs will commence immediately with the goal of returning to the air ASAP.

Regretfully,
Skyking53
Randy
