mutley 4,498 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Here we go with the rundown of section three. This section tropical paradise of the Maldives, via India to Siberia, Korea, Japan ending up back in the tropics in Bali! Section 3 overview legs 21 - 30 Okayama RJOB - Andersen AFB PGUA flown by Mutley. The B-24 "Cocktail Hour" was the aircraft of choice crewed by a bunch of reprobates! Leg 22 Madrass (VOMM) to Paro (VQPR) The baton was taken up by CyprusAirwaysA330 The Embraer Legacy made a welcome return with Sharon attending to our needs on this luxury liner. Leg 23 Paro (VQPR) to Abakan (UNAA) Next up was SWVA7337 flying a Boeing 737-7BC in a snazzy livery. Our first BBJ and hopefully not the last. Leg 24 - Abakan (UNAA) to Khabarovsk (UHHH) Run for the hills!! Yes ddavid has taken over the reigns. An exciting two-parter and a storyline worthy of a best seller. Some of Dai's best ever screenshots. A lot of work was put into this one and has to be the highlight of this section! This was one of the best shots I have seen of an aircraft shadow! Dai kept breaking into Russian language, unfortunately he hasn't gotten over it and now likes to be known as Dimitri from the Baikal Express But there's more! Dai had to ditch his last flight (Dai is great at taking off but not so luck when landing!) But Mutley's own representative of the Llap Goch was well up for the task. Leg 25 UHHH > UHSS Unfortunately CaptHill was unable to make his flight after a technical proble so turned back to UHSS Leg 25 UHHH Khabarovsk UHSS Yuxho = part 2 So Fighterpilot stepped in at the last minute, well done Marcus. A bit of a dodgy landing though! Leg 26 UHSS-UHWW, Yuxho-Sakhalinsk - Vladivostok Another last minute hitch! Disaster was averted when Rob stepped in when Vacs007 was reported AWOL, it turns out Wayne had flown the leg but had lost touch due to a new arrival to his family. Wayne will post his flight soon. Rob flew the excellent JF/CLS 747-200m he like it so much he wrote a review which can be seen in the reviews section on Mutley's! Next up was Rob's planned flight. After making sure he wasn't out of hours he flew Leg 27 UHWW-RKTN, Vladivostok-Daegu, a DC-10 this time, nothing like heavy metal for Rob! Leg 28 RKTN Daegu - RJOB Okayama Another first for the challenge was a movie only post, no stills. One of our resident videographers grth_bbtt came up trumps with this one! ET3rdwy4ulU Leg 29 Okayama RJOB - Andersen AFB PGUA A flight by another one of our expert screenshooters Needles. A real quality post and flight, Cheers Brian! Leg 30 Andersen AFB PGUA - Bali WADD Bringing this section to a close is our Irish correspondent Hurricanemk1c Well done to all who participated in this section.
