June 18, 20169 yr Some nasty weather in the vicinity of WSSS. I think the huge front overhang unnerved the tug driver - at least the nose is pointing roughly in the right direction! Turning & burning on 20C Valkyrie - Rider on the storm! The weather is now irrelevant although I'm not at FL750 yet. Australia is quite a large continent don't you know! On descent to Christchurch Pretty! Not a bad approach - the autopilot can let the XB-70 get a bit mushy on the glideslope at (relatively!) slow speeds. The people in the tower look on in amazement! Canterbury Aero Club guys were impressed too! Not sure if the King Air was too happy having to hang back a bit from all that jet exhaust! Rest, sweet maiden of Odin - you shall ride again soon! Thanks for viewing!
