Already got some gyro drift I need to compensate for as I approach Mount Chōkai

Shonai Airport

Rail and road bridges crossing the Agano River leading to Niigata

Correcting my course towards the near end of the island

Okay no rush but I am impatient this is far enough let's gooooooo

Nice and comfy at only 1,500' but pesky clouds are about to get in my way. Under or over?

Decide to go over, since I will also have some mountains to cross soon anyways

Transitioning from Beaver Bay to Lefthand Bay to keep to the lowlands as I prepare to intercept the approach to Sand Point. On the far left is Cathedral Peak

Taxiing in after turning about on the runway

Skáleyjar Islands scattered out in the Breiðafjörður bay

Continuing to skirt the shores of Breiðafjörður bay

Cutting across the Gilsfjörður to the other side of Breiðafjörður bay

Scanning for any breaks in the water

Did pick up some minor icing crossing the Húnaflói but it didn't stick around long afterwards

Climbing back up for better views

More clouds up ahead will prevent me from going over the highlands beyond Yokohama as planned so will have to cut across Mutsu Bay

Tingwall Airport

On the ramp at Bahir Dar ready for startup

Ready on the ramp at Sandane

Incredible rocky cliffs along the shore of Unst Island, part of Hermaness National Nature Reserve

Managed to kick her straight for landing and stay coordinated but plopped down rather hard. Still some practice to do!

On the MFD to the right you can see a blue dotted line extending outwards showing me what the heading I select is pointing to. Very cool, but does not compensate for wind drift

The city of Rumoi on the Rumoi River

Moved to the far corner of the ramp to not blow sand at people or block the taxiway as I perform run-up checks

Still had enough room to brake and get slow enough to turn around for taxi back without running into the water

Managed to make the turn and line up for final

Okay, *now* I'm heading for my assigned runway

Buzzing the town of Vogar

Tut tut, looks like rain. Thankfully not heading inland

Sunlit side of the Valahnúkamöl rocks and Reykjanes Lighthouse

Strandarkirkja - church and cemetery. Does not actually look like that but is a very old church - maybe that's how it looked originally

A vital southern harbor town of Þorlákshöfn

The island of Bjarnarey

Looking back at the island of Heimaey

Setting up for direct final into Vestmannaeyjar Airport

The southern end of Great Abaco Island and the triple split if the Great Abaco Highwat

The neck that surprisingly doesn't separate South Abaco from Central Abaco - the border is closer to the bottom of the image

Back across the Northwest Providence Channel to the Berry Islands west of Great Abaco

A channel running through the Berry Islands, south of Great Harbor Cay

Grand overview of the Berry Islands

Looking out over New Providence Island and the capital of Nassau. The player on approach broke went missed and you can see his lights just to the right of the airport

Oh this is interesting. It looks like they are both starting to roll!!

Small jet made way for the big jet - prob a good idea

Getting overtaken by the 747 as I fly over Downtown Nassau and the National Gymnasium

Looking back at Nassau on New Providence Island. Lost track of that other player

Heading westward following the limits of the Grand Bahama Bank

Looking back towards the northern end of North Eleuthera Island

Still following the narrow winding length of Eleuthera Island, passing Governer's Harbour airport. The colonial naming continues as it runs along the Queen's Highway

Dodging clouds as uplift begins to raise up some formations higher than my cruising altitude

A convenient gap between cloud pillars leads me to Cat Island
