Think I'll go over to the Chief's Club and see what's going on....
 
I've had a grand time with the hospitality of my brother Chiefs, but it's time to hop on east to another island. PADK -> PADU
 
Think I'll head on east. PADU -> PAED

EDIT: Second thought, I aint in that much of a hurry.
 
Successfully got out of the land of "Deadliest Crabs" to a safe landing at Elmendorf AFB. They had me park next to a Navy VIP transport. At least I'm in good company.

Last checkpoint!
 
Thanks Austin!

Time to start heading in a southerly direction... PAED to PAJN
 
The r/l T-storms have passed (lots more local flooding) so I'm going to head on down to Oregon. CYZT -> KLMT
 
The flight from hell. AVG and FS9 decided they didn't want to play well together about halfway through and I kept getting error messages pop up about FS files that couldn't be read, aircraft textures disappearing for 10 mins at a time, and then when I land, I have duenna files, but when I come out of FS, I don't have duenna files. I did find a validation image for the flight titled $Output and the System Log for the flight.

I'm going to leave it to the comittee about whether or not to re-fly it.
 
The committee says to either re-fly or extrapolate my fuel usage. Like I told them, at this point I'm just wanting to get across the finish line so I'll extrapolate the kerosene burn.

* I've been averaging around 3000lbs fuel burn per flight. Short flights, I've been flying with full throttle, but longer flights of about 575nm or greater, I've been throttling back to get the fuel mileage to make it to destination. 3300 is pretty high for the Pulqui and I'm positive it's well over what was actually burned, so I'll use it. I double checked my fuel burns and I've yet to burn over 3200 on a flight, so 3300 is a good figure.
 
Going to see if I can slip this thing into Edwards without too much fuss. KLMT -> KEDW
 
And it's done! Very nice flight over California.

My Twin Beech is supposed to be waiting on me down the road at the Happy Bottom Riding Club. I just hope that Pancho hasn't gotten too attached to it...
 
Well done Willy.

You deserve a little refreshment...though please save a few bottles for the late arrivals.
