Didn't take long for the night to fall and the fog to roll in.  Looking forward to a few day's rest before starting out again on 10th.

You too, I had to fly it at 4 times speed again........till I got to the 85% point,  I did have a point saved but this time it did not work.

only porblem was that it was the whole pc that crashed so my flight record with Worldwide Virtual was lost.
