Going to give the Hudson a go for the return trip. Virtavia Lockheed Hudson flying in FSX using FSX weather.
 
Here we go again, I hope, Leaving RP17 going to WAMH. Be a lot slower that the F6F. lol
 
Nice! I was tempted to go with a Hudson as well. Good luck and strong tail winds.
 
Hey Paul, thanks for the good words, hehe, wishing the weather stays as nice as it was on the first flight, but knowing the weather who in the heck knowsAnyway, thing seemed to go good on the the first flight going to give it a go again. Leaving WAMH and heading towards WA1A, In good shape, got me peanut butter sanwhich and lots of coffee. Me understand that there might be a Japanese ZERO playing around near my flight plans!Jim
 
Dang! Hot Dog! Made it again! Landed at WA1A. Now let me tell ya! That GI peanut butter ain't the best in the world. Old Dudley, "told me don't eat that stuff in any rough weather or most of it would end up on the panel." With the taste of it he was right! Well anyway, the coffee wasn't to bad. We did have some questionable weather, but most was just fine! Now it's time to fine some good peanut butter! Just to let you know Old Dudley had ham and cheese, and he sure rubbed it in that I couldn't eat me peanut butter, whatever it was. CYA laterTaco, and Dudley
 
Here we go! Taking off from WA1A to WABB. I mentioned to Old Dudley to keep an lookout for that proweling ZERO, he said not to worry, if he see us we will be in for a long swim or a trek thru the jungle. hehe.
 
Gee! we did it again, landed at WABB what a nice and long runway. No ZERO seen us, which at this state of the game is nice. One thing, WA1A didn't have any peanut butter so I needed to settle for coffee, which was good, and a ham and cheese sandwhich. And of course, Old Dudley gave me a bad time about and even yell at one time when we were bouncing around, "where in the heck did you learn to fly at monkey wards!" Hehe, just love that old boy! Cya.
 
Old Dudley and I are preparing the Hudson for the next leg. WABB to HFD, long flight, short runway, and with a lot of trees. One good thing about being here they have good peanut butter, ordered a couple of sandwhichs and more coffee. Hehe, got the he-haw from Dudley! So off we go!
 
Tell Dudley he needs to quit buying Fred shots. I might need him manning the tail gun if we run into that Zero!
 
:encouragement: Landed at HFD! Had a heck of a time finding the bloody landing field, hehe, almost flew right passed it. Hehe, all in a days work I guess. No pictures, I guess we were to busy watching out for any bad guys, but I believe Old Dudley was asleep there were funny sounds coming from the radio position. I had a hard time staying awake myself! Well, at least, the peanut butter sandwhichs which I got from WABB were fair so thing might be looking up. They didn't have any coffee so tea it was and no wonder I had problem staying awake. lol.
 
:encouragement: Here we are again, taking off from HFD and hope to end up at GSP. Well, we loaded up with all the needed stuff, special stuff, my peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, and mucho coffee. Mr. Dudley is doing his thing at this point.
 
Down in the valley, valley so low. oops wrong song! Oh well, we made it this time to GSP. Just flew right down the valley, nice flight. No bad guys, but seen some traffic on the road going south they never even looked up. Dudley said I should have pitch out one of my sandwhich, and that would have got they attention, darn things was so hard it would have been like big boulder coming down the mountain onto the hiway, and it would have scared the poop out of them! Hehe

:running:
 
Keep trying to load some smilies, but nothing happens. hehe. Well anyway, landed at JCB after two trys. The first I forgot to pickup the Baton, and the flight before forgot to put down the gears. My Bad!
 
:wiggle: Hey there! we are off again, Leaving JCB and heading for AYTK. Rumors around JCB is that there are some bad people sneaking around AYTK. Maybe we can slip in while they are on coffee break. lol:biggrin-new:
 
:redfire:Landed at AYTK, we were unable to sneak in, really don't know what hit us but #1 engine started to smoke like heck! Must have hit an oil line because we were losing oil pressure, not real fast, but fast enough. Aganist all the rules I kept her running counting on the chance that we could land without putting dents in the aircraft. More than likely should have shut her down! A long story, but anyway we made it down without catching on fire. Now the local folks will give her a once over check the damage. We got our finger crossed that we didn't really screw up the engine. If so, be awhile before we could get a replacement one sent out here.
 
:wiggle:
Our smoking problem wasn't bad as we first suspected, which was good. It seems something just nicked one of the oil line and the oil line was squirting small amounts of oil onto the hot exhaust manifolds. Hehe, and it sure made a lot of smoke, and it worried Dudley and me to no end. The local mechanics found a usable oil line from a derelict old fighter. So number engine has given up smoking!


Now to the real business at hand. Leaving AYTK for AGGE.
