Willy's Golden Age flight to Oz in the Twin Beech

Decided to park the Cessna for a little while and get the Beech D18 (by Milton of course) out of Mildenhall before the RAF starts charging me for parking.

For the first leg, I think I'll take it to LFML, bypassing Paris and Lyon. Going to set up and take off.....
 
Down and safe in Marseilles. Pretty good flight until I hit the fog in southern France. Had to drop down 3000ft just to be able to see the ground.

Time: 02:53:27

Distance: 567.6
 
Welcome in Beech heaven, glad you decided to start alittle earlier.
Best of luck olli
 
Thanks olli... The Beech has been my default aircraft for quite some time now. I've already flown it around the world once, what's a trip to Oz? ;)
 
Leg 2 LFML - LIBR

Going to set up for the flight to other side of Italy (LIBR) from Marseilles (LFML). Might have to get a little creative on my route on this one...
 
Well I didn't have to get too creative. The Duenna did it for me. According to it, I flew from Marseilles France to off the coast of Nigeria and back up to Italy in about 3 hours. Must be the fastest Beech 18 in world! :d Going to have to get the committee to check it out and make a decision for me. But I expect I'll be heading east out of Italy for the next leg.

I'll post the pictures up in the hotel thread...

Distance: 591.2 nm
Total Distance: 1158.8 nm

Flight Time: 03:09:29
Total Time: 06:02:58
 
Looks like Duenna lost all communication with FS for a sec and reported all zeros.. Zero Long, Zero Lat, Zero Altitude, etc. Hope it works out for ya. :)
 
Leg 3 LIBR - LGIR

Might have it sorted out. I was using a 2006 version of FSUIPC. I've updated to the latest. We'll see how it works out.

So, it's time to fly from LIBR to LGIR to see if I can break the Duenna again....
 
I can neither confirm or deny the presence of nitroglycerine in that crate. Should you want to open it however, let me get to the other side of the airport first... :engel016:
 
Good flight from Italy to Crete. Approach and final were kinda rough as all the clouds dropped my fps down to 4-5. Nothing like landing in the middle of a slide show......


Distance: 466.7 nm
Total Distance: 1625.5 nm

Flight Time: 02:24:51
Total Time: 08:27:49
 
Took off from Crete in the middle of a thunderstorm. Now in the clear at cruise altitude, kicked back and heading east......

Listening to the Gin Blossoms "Just South of Nowhere".. seems fitting somehow.
 
I was just thinking I could get a job with Northwest. I too can surf the net from the cockpit while flying........
 
Just picked up the Beruit NDB which put me about 75nm out. I probably won't make it before SOH goes down for maintenence, so I'll post the details first chance I get. And I promise some pics too.
