The island of Saint Kitts off in the distance, with Mount Liamuiga almost clearing the clouds

Nice, clear skies over my destination of Saint Martin/Saint Maarten

Lining up for final, dropping the gear

Hitting some turbulence over the houses just before the runway, as expected

Going around after I failed to engage reverse thrust properly on touchdown, dammit!

Crabbing in after getting lined up

Good engagement of reverse thrust!

Mt Peulik with the waters of Bristol Bay to the left but on the right is actually Becharof Lake

Turning south to follow the Turnpike (I-95), keeping it out the left window for better visibility and Andrew slowed up to let me follow better

Hopping back in to the Staggerwing at Ayer's Rock Airport

Using my GPS to maintain a constant ground track while being pushed around by winds - as you can see I'm not aiming directly towards the heading bug on my magnetic compass

We actually didn't get a great view of St. Paul earlier as we circled around the Bravo airspace but Minneapolis is looking quite fine as we depart the city for our destination to the west

Spotting the airport to my left as I setup to enter the downwind leg

Oh dear, he had a tree encounter this time

Is this ice thick enough to take off on? Well we'll find out!

Dropping low to stay under the Bravo airspace of Philly, which is a bit further to the north - I'm looking out towards the airport, eyes open for traffic

Just reaching 29,500' cruising altitude

Looking back over the waters of Lake Biwa

Let's give the beach goers a good show on final!

Happened to hit a pocket of dead air during cruise, registering no wind data

Proper exit towards the parking tarmac, which looks pretty full

I'm guessing that is Mount Tandikat on the left and Mount Marapi on the right, both volcanoes in West Sumatra

Better sunlit look at the lighthouse on Russarö Island

Easy peasy flight plan direct to Bahir Dar

The ferry terminal and one of the two main settlement on Rishiri, looking towards Rebun Island

Getting ready to go at Long Reach, Queensland

Clouds are clearing up ahead which bodes well for my eventual descent towards New Caledonia

Shutdown at Magenta Airport, made it just before dusk gave way to night. Great timing, if nothing else!

Over the main cinder cone within the caldera of Mount Aniakchak

No problems during descent as I come in low over the water towards Easter Island

Beginning my descent towards the second largest lake in the Philippines

Taxiing down, literally, to the runway for departure

Looking down upon the West Point Military Academy

Downtown Seattle and Lake Union

Some how I managed to NOT dig my wing into the ground while rolling out from my landing onto a bit of a slope towards the water. Maybe because the wing splashed through the water? Wasn't a horrible landing but counting my lucky stars on that one

Managed to straighten her out pretty well for touchdown
