Day III, Oct 22, 1934

Heading out for a pre-dawn takeoff and the flight to Jask.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Time to head on. Not sure just where yet. Either Jodphur or Allahabad. Depending on the fuel situation.
 
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)

Let's see if I can find Calcutta... Isn't there supposed to be a black hole there?
 
Curious minds want to know... If that is a photo of a safe landing, what do the crash landings look like?
