As usual... here and in the Gallery some screenshots of yesterday's flight. Gian, David, Eric-Jan, Trevor and me started a little later than planned at Komodo Airport for the sixth leg of the Tropic Traders Tour. After a pretty long trip over sea, we finally reached mainland and set course to Pongtiku, which was a bit hard to find. EJ ran out of fuel at the end of the runway (like a true penny-pinching Dutchman), Gian's FSX crashed just before landing and I had to make the approach three times, not able to see the runway due to the clouds. The pictures show that in the end we all savely landed!

Thank you, Peter, David, Gian, and Trevor ;D
DetailsReady for departure rwy35
DetailsTrevor on my "7"
DetailsPeter on my "1"
Details... and David on my "10"
DetailsI had some troubles getting my RH fuel switch turning through the "off" position from "Main" to "Aux"... So I had no RH engine for a while, and this is the flight path you get when you bury your head deep inside the cockpit, to fiddle with the switch :-[
DetailsEverybody was strugling to find the runway. The view from in the air was like dense fog ... non-existent...
DetailsI really had no reserve fuel! Had to pushback to vacate the runway ...
DetailsPeter scaring off some birds ;D
I had a real nice time! Too bad Gian's FL needed a re-install, and that his FSX crashed right after the moment he caught up with us. Better luck next leg, Gian!
EHM-1882 Gian:
Thks Peter for your pictures and support :).. This FSX sudden crash is really the most frustrating one, in particular when you are almost done! In the end I could restart and complete the flight, and found that Trevor and David were still on line. They stayed tuned until I landed. Thanks to them. Hope better luck next time!
