then west across Indonesia.Aircraft: Pacific Airways Islands Livery
Altitude: 4,000 feet to Timor then up to 5,000 feet
Miles: 566 miles
Arrival Stats: Arrived at 12:27 PM which is average of 226 mph
Notes: After nearly a week touring the far northern areas of Australia and the Timor Sea I was back into the Pacific Islands livery Dash-8 to head into Indonesia. There was a bit of wind in Darwin but then I had smooth sailing. The first 380 miles is over water until landfall again where Indonesia and Timor boarder each other. 
At that point I had to climb up to 5,000 feet to clear the local volcanos and I continued another 186 miles to Wai Oti where I stopped off for lunch.

Notes:
Man! This is really a beautiful area! A great place for www.toomuchfs.com to host a future feature "Flight of the Month"! 
I had thought about continuing on from here, only another 30 minutes to the larger town of Bima but I had also planned a change of aircraft here so ended up spending the night.
