What a day ...
We arrived at Seletar before sunrise and with the help of literally, a team of people, got a security clearance and departure for Changi. Flew between 747s , closer than I had ever cared to do. Vectored over Malaysia and Indonesia, in very questionable VMC.
ATC here are not used to an aircraft that can't fly an ILS! Eventually got there. A quick brief and some breakfast but then no AVGAS! Took my slot time with min fuel, enough to see the display area and land again.
First chance I got to put some G on the plane since reassembly.
Lunch, now got AVGAS and the Roulettes and I are the only ones flying the pm session, it was first day for us. The other guys are red hot already and headed home.
The plane felt good in this session, it's been over a month so I'll need a few sessions to get going properly ...
The best part, had to push the plane about 2 to 3 km in steaming heat. Had lots of help but no fun! Will need a better logistical plan for tomorrow.
Been a very long day, looking forward to bed!
Nathan has been a huge help, bet he had no idea what he signed up for on this trip!!
Our wives arrive tomorrow, both looking forward to that.
Best regards to all!
