Off the coast of Dillingham in Hawaii (unedited with REX)

Excellent pics. Really enjoyed the post!

Very high quality, top notch pics. Loved them all. :eyebrow:

I see now the importance of 'the baton'. I wish I had known that before I let Hector's nieces play with it during the flight. In fact, I was hoping you didn't notice the piece of duct tape I had to put over the small crack in it when it accidently bounced off Hector's uncle Fernando's wooden leg. :poster_oops: :eyebrow:

Wow! :shock: That was an awesome story! I didn't know the importance of the baton. I was glad I got it to you safely. The pics were incredible, too :eyebrow: Frank

Thank you guys for the awesome comments and the welcome to 'The Hangar"! Unfortunately, the bird is the CaptainSim 707 not Just flights...sorry. Really enjoyed doing this. Cant' wait for the next challenge! :!: :!: Frank (that is my name..Nicholas is my son) :-)

Well the C-130 Martyn flew into Zaragoza I was told will take a week to fix. Knowing I couldn't wait that long, I went to inquire about a Air France 707 I saw in a hangar while I was waiting for my flight. I spoke to a mechanic there, Hector, his name was, and explained to him my problem and about the passing of the baton. I showed him the baton and told him I had to be in Nice right away. He seemed disinterested and refused to let me fly the 707. He told me it has been here since 1984, the same year he started work here. It flew in from Paris and made an emergency landing here on its way to L

Well, since I'm taking the next leg to Nice guess I won't be using THAT C-130. Walking around the base I found an old Boeing 707 in a hangar. Think I'll check it out and give that one a go. Great pics and enjoyed the commentary!
