• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"Here Kitty, Kitty" Goes a Huntin'

I believe it Willy. I figured I'd have nice blue skies and blue water to look at as I passed over the Islands. Instead I see very little water, occasional thunder and lightning and just the tips of mountains, lol. Today is no different, at 4000' I can just make out what I guess is water below me through the clouds. Oh Well.
 
Drift meter came in handy this morning. 22kt crosswinds the entire 441nm. Without it I would have been a hundred miles to the east and no possibility of finding a dot in the Pacific. No NDB to home to either.

I've been flying at 2000 to 2500 under the clouds so I don't lose sight of the islands. I've been following coasts and anything else I can find to keep from getting "confused".
 
Some final shots and a shout out to all who participated and especially to those who put this whole thing together. Great job! Best of luck to those still flying and to those who plan to rerun the race in a second aircraft. While not flying to be competitive, I still enjoyed the change of pace. . .if not the scenery, as I rarely saw any of it until I was on final, lol.
 
Splendid! Good to see "Kitty" reach the Philippines.
And wonderful screenshots on the way.
