[spokes2112]

May everyone have excellent flights!





It's a foggy one this morning.

 

[Great Ozzie]

I see one person who was up at the start of the race.

You're hardcore, Roman.

 

[spokes2112]

Its all about time, that zulu thing etc. Yep, going HARD CORE rtwr style. When it's dark over here it'll be light over there. Plus, a big plus... My Co-Pilot sleeps. Once the sleep schedule gets totally f___k_d it will be a good run. Planning on running this "zulu" style.

 

[spokes2112]

Do not have the baton but rather a whole boatload (325 lbs) of Kobe Steak, Maine Lobster, 20 yr old Scotch & dry ice to keep it at temp while in the middle latitudes. The reason? As penalty for not knowing how to do simple math to convert zulu time to local. Made the mistake many weeks ago and never checked it. Even put it in the MS Office calendar & suite so it would remind me...... Of the wrong time. Due to crappy a__ planning I must take off now. :-( ( Will definitely hear you on TS)





This is my official start - Departing Mildenhall for places unknown eastward.

 

[spokes2112]

What a way to start! Reminiscent of the Cape to Cape. Put a boat load of time in practicing nearly flawlessly. Then... On the first leg crash. The rubber didn't even get to taste the ground, but rather it tastes the metal that protects it from the elements. ( A hanger )

[spokes2112]

Heading out again - eastern bound. Going to try not to ruin anything else.

 

[spokes2112]

Landed safely in Baghdad, can barely hold the eyelids open any more... More later, nighty night.

[spokes2112]

Off to Iran. Refreshed nicely after a couple of cups of Turkish/Iraqi Coffee (zing/Zing) with another 2 in the cockpit thermos.

 

[spokes2112]

Dawn safely @ Jask OIZJ.

Going to take another look @ the crash at Tatoi, may just have to fly it over.. MMM.

Nice fast aircraft. Looks like you are leading the way.

 

[spokes2112]

Leaving Jask (OIZJ) for somewhere east, maybe in India.

 

[spokes2112]

Made it to Allahabad .. The 1st part was completely featureless.. Winds were good, a few clouds here and there. Going to stop for some Vindaloo, a trip to the head and a refuel. Then upward.

[spokes2112]

Off from Allahabad to more exotic destinations..

 

[CavalierDuck]

Are you absolutely sure you want a vindaloo before embarking on a long flight in an aircraft without the facilities to handle the aftermath??!

 

[spokes2112]

There's a pail in the back!

 

[spokes2112]

Made it to Rangoon/Yangon, Mingeladon (VYYY) , Republic of the Union of Myanmar . The eyes are on fire, will report to the Grosvenor House via radio in the morning with the tea. There is a cot with my name on it in one of those nicely appointed shacks.

[spokes2112]

Leaving Myanmar to somewhere south,, maybe in Singapore? A very, very early morning flight.

 

[Willy]

The Spartan is one of my favorites. It was right behind the Gee Bee on the short list of what I was wanting to fly to Melbourne in.

Good show so far Roman!

 

[spokes2112]

Thanks Willy. Best to you to in the Gee Bee!

 

[spokes2112]

Made it to Seletar. (WSSL) Pretty uneventful except for the moderate to heavy chop (need to clean the cockpit ) right when the sun was rising & the inevitable haze (visibility) in major towns of Singapore.
