SWVA7337 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The baton has arrived at EGPR aboard a Cirrus SR22. I'm dealing with a slow computer at the moment. For this reason, photos should be up either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites

SWVA7337 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 As promised, here are the photos for the second leg of the ATWC! Preparing the beautiful Cirrus SR22 G3 for departure Taxiing to the active Taxiing onto the runway for takeoff Once again, the Baton becomes airborne After departure, I had trouble getting the autopilot to follow my flight plan Problem Solved! Climbing to 12,000ft At cruise altitude Passing over some large clouds One of my personal favorites. Also my new desktop background Cruise time = Screenshot time!

mutley 4,498 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 :good Top flight SWVA7337. Great shots along the way, I really enjoyed this post, I can vouch for the rain in Barra it's chucking it down! I love the Cirrus, I have the G2, in fact it was the first aircraft used in the original challenge! Pleased to see you did not have to use the CAPS system :clap: Thanks for getting us safely to the Western Isles. I am waiting for my aircraft to arrive so how about a drink at the bar? :mrhappy: I will update the departure board in the morning. Cheers PS a couple of days for my post, sorry.
