Willy's Flight of the Gee Bee to Oz

[Willy]

Arrived at OIBB just after the sunset. Fortunately there was just enough light for me to see the runway. Looks like I'll be overnighting here. There's a Sikorsky that's been converted to a motel here and I'll probably spend the night there...

Day III, Oct 22, 1934

Heading out for a pre-dawn takeoff and the flight to Jask.

Go Willy!

Graham.

 

[Willy]

Thanks Graham!

Made it to Jask, but got a invalid Duenna and I'm not at all sure why as I didn't crash or anything else untoward. I did mess around with the flight planner a couple of time including a slight change in it. Going to put it to Mrs Nellie and see if the flight is valid or not.

A quick look at the detailed log suggests the nefarious "change of aircraft" reading. Just going to assume that you did not switch to the Granville Brothers SR-71 model for one second. Things look ok, pending an investigation by Slipstick Williams and his crack investigation team. You should proceed and for the moment ignore the errors.

 

[Willy]

Thanks!

I've updated the data with the particulars for the flight. Hope to get re-started heading to Melbourne (with a few stops along the way) this afternoon.

 

[MM]

Slipstick Williams and the boys have given you the green light.

 

[Willy]

Packing up to head on to the east and the land of the permafig.

 

[Willy]

Just passed the Gwadar radio beacon. About halfway to Karachi.

 

[Willy]

I might be in trouble. There's a big sign on the airfield that says "Welcome Infidel"...

[Willy]

Time to head on. Not sure just where yet. Either Jodphur or Allahabad. Depending on the fuel situation.

 

[Willy]

It was Jodphur. Unfortunately, I picked up my second crash landing there as well. (what's another 30 extra minutes anyway?)

And at 11 minutes out from VIJO, I had to pause to go fix my mother in law's gas heater. (if she would just quit messing with it, it'd run ok)

[Willy]

Getting ready to saddle up and head on east.

 

[MudMarine]

Hey Willy, does Merc Air still fly?

 

[Willy]

Yep, but we're involved with this race at the moment.

 

[Willy]

Made to Allahabad with no problems. It must be setting me up for another disaster soon.

[Willy]

Let's see if I can find Calcutta... Isn't there supposed to be a black hole there?

 

[Willy]

Why is there a couple of cinder blocks under my seat?

 

[Willy]

Well, that was quite the arrival at Calcutta. Looks like it'll be a late night doing a little repair work. At least I made it there before sunset.

Curious minds want to know... If that is a photo of a safe landing, what do the crash landings look like?
