• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

Team Outhouse RTWR 2012 Practice 1

At altitude and on course. The sun is about to come up over the Kamchatka Peninsula. ETE 3:52. Do you think the folks in Tokyo are still touchy about B-29s?
 
Thanks Chris! Alaid Volcano. Impressive, poking out of the sea like that. I'm going to crawl through that tunnel and see if I can find the galley in this thing. ETE: 3:39.

LOL..don't ya just hate those long flights against a head wind! :isadizzy:

BTW Paul where did you find that Nav/GPS button? I like that and could have a use for it in my race panel.
 
I'll post the panel in the hideout. All freeware gauges. Head wind now 45 knots! ETE 3:17.
 
Headwind stable at 56 knots, dead-on-balls on the nose. ETE 2:00. I'm approaching the northern outermost islands of Japan. No Zeros yet...
 
Baton is back at UHPP. Crashed on final approach, 2 min out. The wind did a massive 180 degree instant shift while all the stuff was hangin out, and she stalled. Once she went, there was no recovering. Went to max power, gear up, flaps up. One might as well have attached butterfly wings to one of Wile E. Cyote's famous anvils... Should have been going a tad bit faster, obviously. Oh well, at least the wingman can bring the baton in so we won't waste a five hour leg. Oh wait... I've attached the duenna files, mostly to make myself feel worse, but also to analize the data. It doesn't help much. I see a huge KIAS drop of 100 knots before the disaster. That's probably where the wind shifted.
 
Shame to lose a 5hr flight. Garsh!

Cashing in my jet wildcard leg. UHPP to RJTT in the Douglas RB-66 w/tanks.
 
Good luck Moze! Better luck than I in any case! Watch those winds around Tokyo...
