Well, I think this is a first. This is the first day I haven't had to stick a new flag onto the side of the Globe Trotter. I started yesterday in Indonesia, and I ended still in Indonesia! So, to make up for it, I've got a good long flight today!
I've finally got someone to talk to (assuming they speak English)! This leg has me taking 3 Passengers 61 miles to Dili. A pretty short hop, but there's another job there waiting for me.

I now have a single Private Shuttle passenger going to El Tari in Kupang. A little out of my way, but don't worry, it will be worth it!

Okay, this is the one I've been waiting for. I am now within striking distance of Australia. It's a bit of a stretch, but there's a Night Club Hottie who wants to go 649nm to Balgo Hill in Western Australia. How can I refuse? So, I've gassed up, and I'm ready to go!
After parking near the gate and picking up my next job, I find that I am still excited about getting to Australia later today. But I'm not as excited with my passenger....
So, it's a big ocean (actually, it's the Timor Sea), so I'm going to file and fly IFR. I should be fine (right now I've got a 21kt tail-wind), but you never know.
