....by the time I got in, the flight was thining out a tad.....first Carl left right before takeoff, ...........
So with just Kevin, Andy, and myself, we tried to take to the skies.........
I followed "Eno" off the end of the runway and into the blue, only to see this message come in from Kev.......
........now there were only two........
Andy calls in over the radio that there are some hops to be done in Hawaii, and its a nice day there, so in agreement, off we went ............he got ahead of me so I had to follow in on the first landing........
Once down, we tried giving a go to a formation take-off.....
So as we clear the end of the runway, I take Andy's advice and lead from behind this time..........
Upon arrival at our next landing, I got down on two wheels with a minor bounce and Eno came in right behind me........
Another "loose" formation take-off and we were off on our last leg......time is running down on the other side of the Atlantic.......for me, it's coffee and toast time.
In transit to the next island, I decided to catch a different view of the land and water below........
So much nicer to be able to see with lots of the plane out of the way......
Now, to pick a pass to get through and we should see the runway soon...........
Squeeking it over the top and only 100 ft to spare.....if that !
Cleared through and almost done, when "Eno" calls a fuel "BINGO".......hope he has enough alt ...........
Staying over my stricken buddy, I fly top cover in case he needs to have someone call in the coast guard for assistance............
I roll over and land long to keep clear of the dead-stick by Andy.........
Finally, I can taxi back and get one last pic of the mountains we just cleared.......... fun time for both of us......
