[Willy]

About time to take off in the direction of India...

 

[Willy]

Somewhere over the Bay of Bengal at the moment.

 

[Willy]

Looks like it'll be sucking fumes when we get to VEBS. So much for on to Allahabad.

 

[Willy]

Landed at VEBS with 6% fuel.

[Willy]

Wonder what's going on in Karachi?

 

[Willy]

T-storm near the Pakastani border. The Spartan is really rocking and rolling.

 

[Willy]

All the way across India without encountering the permafig. Found it over Pakistan

 

[Willy]

Whew, glad that's over and I landed safely. Low vis and 2-3 fps on approach and final.

[Willy]

Still have a long way to go. Let's see how far I can get

 

[Willy]

Think I can just make it to Cairo with a little reserve.

 

[Willy]

Ok, made it to Cairo with 7% fuel left. Problem is that I should have flown to Alexandria instead so I could make the checkpoint. Now the question is "How do I fly from Cairo to Alexandria with only 7% fuel as I sure don't want to have to pickup an extra 45 minutes of ground time here. Going to have do some studying on this one...

Routine Ground Time: 0:00:00 (haven't refueled yet and not sure if I'm going to)

[Willy]

Trying to make it with the mixture leaned way the heck down.

 

[Willy]

Landed on fumes at 1% (8.5lbs). It was a slow flight, but at least I made it.

[Willy]

Once this Antonov on the runway ahead of me gets out of the way, I'll be headed for somewhere in the Balkans.
