Sock Flies Europe.

After refueling Peggy, and myself, I ran up the engines and made my way to the active.

Image

Peggy lifted off the runway with ease and after gaining a little altitute, banked left and started back down the coast.

Image

Image

It wasn't as far to Gibraltar as I had previously thought.  In fact I could see it and Africa.  Up in the sky the clouds had cleared out for the night and the sun was stinking fast.

Image

Gibraltar was all green, what a sight for sore eyes!  But when i got there, all I found was an Air Force base, and i couldn't get permission to land there.

Image

Across the strait, the northern coast of Morocco was also very green and beautiful, and I figured, "What the hell?"

Image

So I flew across the the strait and landed at a little airport in a little town called Tetouan.

Image

Peggy again smoked and screamed on the runway, but not as hard.  So it wasn't the empty fuel tanks. ::)  

Image

I taxied to parking, shut her down, and tied her down for the night.

Image

It was 6 o' clock and the sun was nearing the horizon.  It had taken me eight hours to fly from Paris France to Tetoan Morocco, and the people inside the terminal wanted to hear all about it. ::)  But I was too tired and needed sleep.  They pointed me to a nice hotel, and I promised I'd tell them all about my journeys the next day before I left.


Next I'm going to try for Tripoli, Libya.

And heres the last few legs:
