Moses' Slotted Superfortress

[Moses03]

Saddling up for AGGT to AGGA.

 

[Moses03]

Took out the Tiki Hut coming in so low but down safe at AGGA. (No one got hurt).

 

[PRB]

... (No one got hurt).

Not even squirrels or tucans?

 

[Willy]

Oh No! Not the Tiki Hut!!

(what's a Tiki Hut?)

 

[Moses03]

Moving on to AGGF Maringe. As already reported, weather is not looking so good.

 

[Moses03]

Down safe and used all 2448' of the runway. Also knocked down the radio shack antenna. (No injuries were reported).

 

[Moses03]

Heading up the coast to AGGV Maringe.

 

[Moses03]

Down on the coral runway safely but not before taking the top off a sno-cone stand. The crew will have to hose off the strawberry syrup from the gear. (The stand had already closed for the day so no one was banged up).

 

[PRB]

Oh oh. Miss Nellie isn't going to be happy about this...

 

[Moses03]

Oops. I think Taco said he was going to pay for the damage...

Slotting over to Munda then.

 

[Moses03]

Made it to Munda okay. Came in a little hot and had to employ a few "S" turns to bleed off some speed. Crew was getting a bit queasy.

Apparently we came in low over the rec area. Post flight inspection revealed a volleyball net caught on the pitot tube. (No one was playing at the time they tell us).


I will say this, the Superfort provides a wonderful view...

 

[Moses03]

To AGGE Ballalae.

 

[Moses03]

Into AGGE. Came in a little too low over the officers club observation deck and made them scatter. (Got a stern verbal warning but no one was bruised).

 

[Moses03]

Onward to AYBK.

Edit: Had an issue with the yoke connectivity 37 seconds into the takeoff. Restarting.

 

[Moses03]

Safe at AYBK.

 

[Moses03]

To MKO. ..

 

[Willy]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure the SBD is parked well away from the runway.

 

[Moses03]

Into MKO. Duenna shows it as MKN.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure the SBD is parked well away from the runway.

Good thinking!

 

[Moses03]

And on to Rabaul.

 

[Moses03]

Finally had a long runway and hit too hard right before the tarmac started. Go figure.
