Ferry flight from Hawaii to Yokosuka. First leg, Midway Island off the nose. 1300nm and a whole lot of ocean. 2200nm to go. Looking forward to a steak and Sapporo beer at the O'club when I get to Yokosuka.

such a long flight!

Thanks Rick. Lots of time to study the NATOPS manual, or read the latest Mad magazine.

Also, this is exactly what the Pacific looked like anytime I flew over it. Lucky I guess.

Thanks Bill. I was happy to find this early pre-avionics hump model. Sleek and classy.
