Hopefully a short fligth to a short field. The runway is a bit short for this hop, but I made it down in this field length before, so I'll hopefullly be successful again. If this work out, I should save a few minutes off the route JC used.

The landing was a bit rough, coming in at stall speed over the numbers, but the ground crew said everything looks great. It's a tough bird, and coming in with only a light fuel load helps considerably.

Good winds, but a bit bumpy. A clear night for a landing though. Lost lots of time to JC, now nearly 18 minutes back.

A nice low altitude flight, but only slight help from the winds. Still better than 20 kts on the nose like I would have seen last week. Hopefully I can make up some time on the next flight to UHPP and get back to within 15 minutes of JC. No way to catch him though since I would have to average over 605 kts on the remaining flights. Since I haven't broke 600 on any leg yet, I doubt this is doable for the Vautour.

A good run to the north, but I couldn't get the winds to cooperate the entire way. They were nice the first 1/2, then slowly turned to the nose. I now show I'm down 23 minutes to JC.
