Team VIAGRA is up!

After some administrative time and a bit of flight testing, it's back into the breach!

Departing OPNH to VIAL (Allalaallaalllaaa,, oh, you know..)

(at least on this route we're NOT going via Agra )
 
Banging along on the way to Allahabad ... Up to the normal 17,500 cruise and there's a headwind of 24 knots. It had been on the tail in the climb so I snick back down to 16000. Better... crosswind and/or tailwind but all the stations north of track were reporting 24kt westerlies so I decided to ride it out and it paid off (sneaking a bit north of trach seemed to find the 'sweet spot" ... giving up 5 kts of true airspeed gets me 228 kts of push. Fair Deal!

The usual 6.2 goo below so I know what to expect at destination

Here we come Sinapore...

Rob and John said I was off the Team if I didn't take another leg. :running:

We're a tough group. No more whining or I do no more wx recon. :d

Check spelling: Sinapore :a1310:

P.S. wx is VFR

P.S.S. Race committee, is it illegal to haul a teammate to altitude for release! :173go1:
 
I hate headwinds!

Current wx shows mostly 7-10kts on the nose @ cruise altitude. Think I'll have another coffee and watch for a bit.
 
VIAGRA Ops from F-ASTR:
let crew at WAAA know I may extend flight to their location if winds favourable
Will advise nearer WRBB
 
but still less than 'four hours'....

In the case of deciding to go to WAAA it may be a case of "once up, stay up"

:running:
 
Enough gas, tolerable winds.. Destination changed to WAAA

Off I go across the water.

5 sm vis but there's an ILS!
 
Safe and sound on the ground at WAAA aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Lovely, clear and virtually nilw wind.. and then the goo at 2000 ft.. but still VFR
