Goblin's Legs: 1 and 2

[Goblin 51]

Not much time in the Turbo Arrow yet.  A few test flights and we're off!

Departing the close runway at Athen's LGAT:

 

 

Out of Athens:

 

The flight was going well and I had chosen 2 hours and 30 minutes worth of fuel.

Only, that wasn't working out...I was starting to get concerned.

 

17.5 Miles to go and things are not looking good.  This could be a very long swim.

 

Come on...Just a little farther.

 

O.K.  After this I landed safely and went to do some work on fuel management.

 

This is my third year with the MEBAR and I can count on learning something every time.  This has been no exception.

 

Now for leg two I paid more attention to flying with an efficient power setting.  I also left with full fuel; though, in the end, I didn't need it.

Leg 2 starts:

 

Holding short for this guy to take off.  Maybe another rally flyer?

 

Mostly an uneventful flight, but the Navy was out after hearing about my poor fuel planning.

 

Headed inland and I'm thinking about climbing.  I'm going to have to invest in an oxygen kit.

 

Flying with more reasonable power settings:

 

 

 

Descending now, no need to stay up here any longer than I must.

 

Ah, time for some rest and maybe a bit of hiking.

 

Oh, and plenty of fuel.
