Team Outhouse RTWR 2012 Practice 1

and downhill it goes...
an hour out from Wake and the wind gradually works it's way from a 50 tailwind to 20 kts quartering from ahead-right :frown:

but still, enough gas with the reduced speed to reach Wake and return at least one DoDo to it's avian home

49 minutes left
 
Rwy 06
Trees about 1/4 mile from threshold - should be no prob (except in X?)
numerous radio towers all over the island

Thanks Rob. In FS9 for this one. Thought about trying my FSX Piaggio P-180, but not until I had already taken off in the Epic... ETE 1:06.
 
Wind steady 200/10 CAFB

a/c is parked n. side of runway with keys in it, but I'm firing up the BBQ.. Boss insists on steak & lobster for dinner
 
Rgr on serious arm twisting for steak & lobster... ETE 0:10+ fumbimg around in the fog... Last post before landing.
 
Down safe at PHKO despite the Soviet otto trying to send the plane into the Pacific about 40 miles out. Also bumped the kneeboard on short final which nearly sank the ship again. Glad to be down.
