Flight 22 : Alice Springs to Darwin

Date: Thursday November 21, 2008
Departure: 04:00 local
Routing: Northwest to the coast and then northeast into Darwin
Aircraft: Flight Club International - Alice Springs livery
Altitude: 3,500 but after an hour of buzzing the bushes I got bored and climbed to 10,000.

Miles: 871
Arrival Stats: Arrived at 07:23 AM, 264 mph average
Notes: With "nothing" going on in Alice Springs I was ready to move onto something more scenic. I left just before "dawn" and scudded along the ground for awhile, then climbed on up to 10,000 feet. The "green" finally fades in a hundred miles or so from the Oceanand despite ATCs instruction to land to the north I took the crossing runway from the southwest.
Weekend weather for Darwin looks AWESOME! See ya next week ....
