Flight 9: Kagoshima Japan to Pyongyang North Korea


Date: Sunday October 26 2008
Departure: 06:30 local time








Routing: Northwest (near Nagasaki) over Pusan and Seoul.








Aircraft: DeHavilland Dash-8 House Colors
Altitude: 5,000 feet








Miles: 511
Arrival Stats: I landed just 2.5 hours later because I was out of gas. That works to just 204 mph - miserable!








Notes: Now ... I know this is a small plane but really, shouldn't it have more than 500 miles total range? On departure and especially on landing I found this little plane to be very unstable and "twitchy", very difficult to fly even when trimmed out.
So I landed, made some changes to the CFG file for both handling and fuel economy - I also grabbed some lunch before setting off into China.
