Willy's Modern GA flight in the Cessna Death Machine

Made it to Bahrain with a nice cruise down the coast of the Persian Gulf. Think I'll quit here for the night before I head out again....
 
Obbi - opkc?

Prepping for take off from Bahrain heading east.. Maybe Karachi, maybe further. Gonna see how far this old comp will go.
 
Made it just into Pakistan and decided to not push my luck any farther. There aint nothing here, not even a goat herd. Going to be pushing further east here in a bit....
 
Landed safe at the elevated airport at Sehwan Shariff (OPSN). Going to overnight here and head into India tomorrow.
 
Opsn - vial

Time to move the Skymaster out of Pakistan. The parking fees are getting ridiculous. Think I'll fly her to Allahabad with a possible divert to Agra if necessary.
 
Took off at 0420 local.. climbing out towards VIAL

0630 about halfway between Jodhpur and Allahabad. Just wish the winds would quit shifting around.
 
Landed safely at Allahabad for the 2nd checkpoint after a 750+nm flight across the land of the permanent fog.

Got a valid duenna jpg without a map but for some silly reason, it didn't generate a flight log .txt file. I've included the system log file instead.
 
I've sent word to the ground crew in Allahabad to have the CDM ready. I'm about to run out of airports in the Twin Beech. I also told them to give PRB's cinderblocks that were under the back seat to a local construction crew...
 
Catching a late night flight back up to Allahabad from Melbourne to pick up the Cessna. Good thing I'm not flying as I need to sleep off all that "nitro" at the Windsor.
 
I've got a plan... it at least has the distinction that no one else has tried it yet..... should be "interesting".
 
Vebs - vyci

Okay, if I hang around here much longer I'll have to put an Indian tail number on the CDM. Off to Coco Island and maybe a bit further if the fuel situation looks promising.
 
0330 AM local: At cruise altitude over the Bay of Bengal. Phuket is looking doubtful, so I'll settle for Coco Island. Got a little bit of a tailwind. Beats a headwind.
 
Due to operator error, I'm going to have to restart the flight...


(note to self: when checking the duenna in flight, do NOT click on the red x in the upper right corner.... :banghead:)

Restarting flight as soon as I can get back in the air....
