Officially in the northeastern region of Iceland

The multitude of fingery stretches of the coast of Maine, near Freeport

Back below transition altitude and again no reminder to change over to local pressure - I've already listened to the ATIS too

Cruising the northern shore of Saint Croix towards the eastern end with Buck Island hiding in the clouds

Coming up on 5hrs of flight, one of if not the longest so far and I'm finally experiencing the poor performance many long-haul tubeliner pilots have been complaining about. Attempt to restart the video capture to see if that was the problem and it wasn't. The stutters persisted and increased in length as time went on

Leaving Buffalo airspace behind and beginning to ascend to cruising altitude with Andrew still hanging relatively close by

Flight Log

Tut tut, looks like rain. No big surprise down here in the tropics

Looking back at the last island in the Mentawai Islands Regency chain

Stamford, CT

Final look at Kata Tjuta as I complete my circle around

Another look back at Grand Manan Island with a better look at Long Island on the horizon - off the coast of Nova Scotia not New York

After that descent and climb I will definitely not be making it to Churchill Falls in one go. Too much low-flying and meandering. Thankfully I have plenty of alternate options to choose from on my route to land for gas

Poopó Lake - not actually covered with water in the sim so if you flew low it would look like ground

Passing the city of Puno and the Uros Floating Islands

Looking out towards one of several deep-cut valleys that lead off the plateau down to the Pacific coast

Passing over the isthmus that connects Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre, the main islands of Guadeloupe

Where the pigs swim

The island of Barbuda

Top of descent, looking like clear weather for my arrival

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

Lots of traffic to be wary of as I make my approach through uncontrolled airspace

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

Turning onto downwind leg

Coming around onto base leg

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!

Back on downwind leg again

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

My airport elevation is more nuanced and less flat than the default field so some areas other planes show up higher. I think also his taxiway configuration was different cause I went to pass ahead of him and he rolled forward like he expected me to turn left

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

Skies look threatening but weather reports say I should be able to get this done so climbing aboard at Vaksinen Småflyplass

Flying over the ranger station at Logan Pass, which is the start of the popular Highline Trail I have hiked

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

Looking across the San Mateo Canyon wilderness area

Descending over more fertile land fed by the Galana River

Heading out from East Caicos to cross the Turks Island Passage

Made it up and clear of the power lines

Cruising back south along the main body of the Exuma Cays

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

Oh dear, he had a tree encounter this time

A final look back at the range of peaks that make up Denali

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

Coming up on Cebu City

The main span of the Stord Bridge looking back up the Stokksundet Strait
