Saddling up for FLKW

 

[Willy]

I wouldn't say I was lost, but there was a certain uncertaincy about exactly where I was at. Fortunately after studying about landing on a straight place in the roads, I spotted a lake to land on so I could ask some fishermen for directions. They pointed over their shoulders and said about 50 miles thataway. And they were right....

[Willy]

Onward to FLLI! Once I get all these cinder blocks out of the back...

 

[Willy]

Nice flight to Livingstone.

[Willy]

Left Livingston for FAGM about an hour ago when the forums were down for maintenance. Nothing like a 29kt headwind.

 

[Willy]

Plenty of RDF signals to chase and we made it in to Johannesburg Rand just fine. Taxied to the gate and found this Teutonic Trimotor pulling away to head for the active.

Now to decide how to break up this last bit to get to Cape Town....

 

[Willy]

Decided to go for broke and saddle up for Cape Town. I'm thinking that with a little luck, it should take me about 3 hours and 20 minutes.

 

[Moses03]

Good show Willy. I plan to do the same in the next day or two. Plenty of those "HH" beacons along the way.

 

[Willy]

Yep, just a matter of chasing 'em down. According to my calculations, fuel shouldn't be an issue unless the headwinds increase in strength.

On the SOH Flight Center server.

 

[Willy]

Down safe in Cape Town. Nice but long flight even if I had to fly the last bit in on dead reckoning due to being unable to pick up that last NDB. Somehow that just seems fitting.

I guessed 3:20:00... It took me 3:24:58.

Now to figure out if I really want to fly back up to Norway....
