No clouds.

No emotions.

No problem.

I'm not saying that we hope in a hard life, but yes, it's pretty boring this part of the route.

Not the easiest approach to ZPJH. The airport is in a valley, and even the ILS was dangerous. GS weren't catch.

We were low on fuel.

Lucille preferred a safer manual landing on RWY 16.

Leaving China for Taiwan, today.

A simple flight.

 

We broke 50 hrs goal of flight time, and we have almost burned 20.000 lbs of fuel... Pff!

Lucille is thrilled.

Tonight we'll celebrate.

On 16/11 we flew in Russia at dusk. Lucille was furious about the flying hour choice by me and Maurice. Not the safety one.

Today, 21/11, we are facing the longest route of entire travel.

 

711,6 nm...

 

On a Twin Otter...

 

It's raining, and it's cold.

 

But we have 52 knots wind at our back. And it's marvellous for fuel saving.

On 22/11 this is what happened: low flat clouds below us and freezing air.

Isles of Alaska are mesmerizing.

Today, 29/11, a blind day and a marvellous one.

The blinding was mainly due at the alaskan clouds.

The amazing at the PAJC airport. Wonderful location.

 

And we broke 50 hrs of flying time!

 

Lucille will paint a celebrating flag of Alaska.
