estimated about an hourBelay that, restarting FS. FS crashed on me a minute after takeoff.and off again.

battling pretty severe headwinds here, expect me a few minutes late or even a diversion.Will advise.

Half an hour to Little Rock AFB. Seems I'm going to make it, winds are better a bit lower down, making not quite 300 knots.

I am at KLRF waiting for youBarry

Barry, we're on Bush Net. What are you flying?

I have the baton. Destination McConnell AFB.

Cant connect to Bushnet -- as far as I can see , Bushnet is HOPELESS. I can never connect when I want to -- sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. It sems more like that most times I can't.Barry

OK -- looks like JT has the baton. I will maybe take it next stop. One thing we all need to rememebr is that during the race, we MUST not go over our 2 hours flying time - otherwise we have to startover. So if we encounter headwinds , then we must put down at an alternative airport within the 2 hour timeframe. So with this practice session, we should be aiming to make it from takeoff to setdown within 1 hour exactly !!Barry

STILL can't connect to Bushnet. Anybody else tried to connect over the past 20 minutes or so?Barry

Barry,Looks like an ETE of about 30 minutes or so. Jeff is in the Howard.If you want the next flight--it's yours as far as anyone can tell.OK with everyone on the forum?M.Keep trying BushNet. But ok to fly offline.

PS. Barry, go to KIAB and pick the next destination. Maybe less than 2 hours so as to remove time pressure.M.

Ok - I am waiting at KIAB - planning to fly to Garden City regional KGCK in Cessna 310Barry
