hectorp 4 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 This is an update of the Eurasia Segment. I will try to follow as close as possible the route using the recently purchased Catalina PBY when over water and the C-47 when over land. Today I landed with the Catalina in the King Faisal Naval Base (OEJF). Tomorrow will include an update of the whole route and some pictures on the Naval Base. So far so good.

hectorp 4 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 We are reporting yesterday´s flight because we ended up super tired. Again with the Pilatus Porter PC6 Amph we had a unusual strong head wind that threaten us to run out of fuel before reaching TKS5. Luckily we spotted a tanker moored right on the International Date Line and had an unexpected stop for refueling. Right after take off we crossed the IDL. We register this occasion in a couple of pictures we are showing you: One from the IVAO Webeye map and the other from the cabin showing the crossing of 180 degrees. After that we were enroute TKS5 and of course, arrived there at night time which was a very interesting rendezvous. We were grateful to see the tanker lights on so we could touch down safely. We will rest for tomorrow. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.
