Willy's Rather Spartan Return Trip

[Willy]

Going through the Spartan to make sure that it's ready to fly back to England. At least the Spartan is more comfortable than the Gee Bee, but I hope I don't forget that this has flaps and the landing gear goes up and down...

 

[Willy]

Saddling up to head back... First stop Charleville!

 

[PRB]

Flaps and wheels that go up and down. That's fancy stuff!

 

[Willy]

Safe landing at Charleville, will post the stuff later

 

[Ron Attwood]

Stellar effect Willy. Bloody well done!

Wrong thread.

Time to work my way towards Darwin..

 

[Willy]

Just passed my originally intended gas stop. Going to see if I can make it all the way to Darwin.

 

[Willy]

About and hour out of Darwin and it's low vis and getting dark.... Kind of glad to not be in the Gee Bee about now.

 

[Willy]

Landed safely at Darwin in the dark. Good thing the Spartan has lights! And as I'm not flying in Golden Wings, so does the airport!

Heading on across the Timor Sea. Hope the seat cushions float.

 

[Willy]

ETA 21:30 local at WRKC. I've decided that rather than reset FS to daylight when it gets dark, to just fly on through the night.

 

[Willy]

Nothing like an night landing into a smallish airfield without lights with hills in play. But we made it to WRKC for a much needed refueling stop.

Off to WRBI

 

[Willy]

Landed at WRBI. I've got to quit picking these unlit airfields. I didn't see this runway until I was right over it. Ended up breaking a wheel on landing.

Phuket! We're going to Phuket. O' course there's that little matter of the t-storm that right in our flight path. FS is doing a pretty good job with lightning at night. Did I mention Phuket?
