BGAN021, Hu-16, Quick flight in Alaska in the Albatross that was rather hurried
as I was flying on very little sleep.

BGAN021, C-5a, .Z20.PANC Diverted to PANC (Anchorage) after a long flight due
to the shortness of Bethel. Attempting to land convinced the crew that a C-5a
wouldn't land there. We had rescued some American and Aussies after problems in
Eastern Russia due to insurgents. Our original flight plan saw us landing at
the first Major airport in the USA after Insurgents just about caught our ship
at Providencia.

JU-90, Trying out the junkers 90. Nice smooth slow climb from Sauzburg South
across Austrian alps. Missed first approach so turned in valley to come in
other end. The JU has diff brakes but tuyrns way better without them. Very
touchy aircraft but smooth off the ground. Just a struggle to get up and easy
to land. Has 4 x BMW132 engines. A bit small and under-powered for such a heavy
Bird. They would have been a big production craft if not for the war. That's
the shame, so many great planes would have been produced in mass had they not
have been produced in German and occupied territories.

YSSY-YHID, 609, bgak015, Globe SWIFT, Got the air minestry,s ok to fly after
reassembly so decided to fairy up to Horn Isl. for the start of GAAR
2007,departed at 0430 for a long 12 hour day,made stops at Gunnedah,Roma,and
Townsville,for fuel and to walkabout,then decided to try one last long leg as
there was a 10Knt tail wind above 6000ft,as the day heated up,turbulance kept
us awake,as scattered thunderstorms popped up,was down to 10 gal.with 80Nm to
go,so made a long decent@400Ft/m to 1700,arrived at YHID in rain ,but it felt
good to open the canopy and step out after 10 hours

George Adair, 12-23-06, IKO-PADK ,
88, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Leg 6 of trip for the GAAR2007. Almost forgot the
last westerly stop before heading south. Time for a rest. Ive been in the seat
for too long. I will cram the tanks full and watch the weather for a tail wind
south to Midway island. Its 1450 miles south about 5 to 6 hours in the air.
George Adair, 12-23-06, CYPA CYQH , 277, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Leg 2 of
trip to Australia for the GAAR2007. Distance 863.4 miles. This was the first
long hop to see how I would do with no autopilot. Had a decent reserve left to
land with but taking off with full fuel and overweight from CYPA took alot of
runway, will need the longest runways at PADK and Midway if I am going to get
airborne.
George Adair, 12-23-06, PANC IKO, 218, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Leg 5 of trip
for the GAAR2007. Distance 795 miles. Anchorage wouldnt let me out until I
changed my flight plan to IFR. Took off with near zero visibility, 30knt cross
wind and 250ft ceiling. Climbed through the crud to 9600ft to get above it and
headed for IKO following the coast and the islands.
George Adair, 12-23-06, CYXY PANC , 75, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Leg 4 of
trip to Australia for the GAAR2007. Distance 553 miles. Left Whitehorse early
morning and got to see Northern Lights as I climbed for the trip through the
mountains. Had to do a lot of valley running to stay below 10k feet because The
Corsair is not equipped for oxygen. Some bumpy rides but otherwise a gorgeous
day for a flight. Dropped into Anchorage without a hitch.
George Adair, 12-23-06, CYQH CYXY , 75, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Leg 3 of
trip to Australia for the GAAR2007. Distance 191 miles. Iced up and had to come
down early, kept losing airspeed even with pitot heat, heavy snow and a strong
head wind. Overnighter in Whitehorse. Such a short hop left me quite heavy on
landing, bounced like a beach ball on touchdown.
George Adair, 12-23-06, CYWG CYPA , 125, bgan012, Corsair F4u, Start of
trip to Australia for the GAAR2007. Distance 375.5 miles had to set down early
for weather front ahead of my flight plan.

overdue. Actual routing KMQY/KSHV
(refuel)/KBAZ
Luke, 12-22-06, VVDB-VLLN, 27,
BGAN021, C-133 Bluegrass, .SAGAG. Flight into Laos from Vietnam. Hard landing
at VVLN in what looks like a volcano. An Air America christmas flight as a
follow on from the last flight. Do the CIA agents in Laos get prezzies from
home?!?
Luke, 12-22-06, VVDN-VVPC, 32,
BGAN021, C-123 Bluegrass, VVPC, VVDN, The year is 1967 and the ICAO codes do
not do the flight justice being addon scenery. Chu lai airbase Vietnam from
Danang, doing a touch and go with tail-ramp down to dump & run pallets of
christmas mail under heavy ground fire from NVA insurgents, then turn east for
Trabong runway number 9. The troups will appreciate the mail there after days
of constant fire, 7.62mm rounds ricochet off my cabin window and mortar covers
my approach as I once again drop my ramp, cargo-master sliding the pallets out
as I skim the runway. South to safe destination.

BGAD042, MOONEY BRAVO, This flight was a memorial commemoration for departed
BGA pilot GEOFF BOARDMAN BGAD047. Seven aircraft took part and after landing
and marshalling to parking an eulogy was conducted by Ron McNeil {who also
acted as the Westcoast ATC for the flight}.
The ceremony ended with a minute's silence. In my mind it was a moving tribute to a
fellow aviator. Well done to all who
attended and to those who were only able to attend in spirit.

Dan George, 12-05-06, KILN to KALB,
170, BAGN 040, MSA Beech D18S, This flight was flown using the weather from the
snow/wind storm that hit the central and eastern states on 12/01-02/06. Tailwinds in excess of 60kts were encountered
during the flight as well as heavy turbulence and a barometric pressure of
29.25 in Hg. The landing at Albany NY
was in front of the approaching storm system and wind was not an issue, however
heavy rain and 2 mile visibility added spice to an otherwise smooth
landing. Active Sky v 6.5 generated
accurate weather for the entire flight.
