Time to kick the fires and light the tires.

I have the baton, SB2P > SBFN, Beechcraft King Air 300, Cabin Class, Offline.
 
Pretty serious wind shifts out over the Atlantic. If you're "riding the barber pole" on the next leg, keep a close eye on it...

(ETE 0:15)
 
Wind now direct tail wind @ 20kts

ETE 1:00

Still broken clouds below

Now why does an Airbase like Ascention not have an ILS???

Anyway still in good shape.

Got my desk taken apart also :costumes:
 
I should just make it ahead of the 2.5hr max restriction on subsonic Oceanic legs.

ETE :50+
 
Picked up a tailwind and will have about a 15 min cushion. 220nm out, ETE :25+

Last post before landing.
