| FZAA to FNLU (November 7th, 2008) Kinshasi, Dem. of Congo to Luanda, Angola Chief Financial Officer, Chief Test Pilot, and 1st class beverage flight attendant, JoeMini, today spoke at Kinshasi Intl airport to discuss future plans for JoeMini WWT. {Clears throat, belches, and rips fart.} "Errr...excuse me for just a moment. I think I did more than fart." "Thank you all for waiting...how embarassing. We are going to have some long flights in the near future, so JoeMini WWT Tours is proud to announce that we will be flying a Boeing 747-400 in our future route including todays flight. We have had a few flight previously screwing around, but none of this magnitude and pressure. Welcome aboard!"   
Looks like a little overkill for airport? Taxi's good...what can be so hard about this beast? Takeoff check! Liftoff check!
  
Cool looking rock and water formations...banking southwest to the coast and Luanda. Coming in over a small gulf inlet.
  
Flaps down check...Piece of cake. View from tower of beast coming in...What the heck is this....looks like the airport is sunk into the ground....Crap!...this won't be good.
  
Get over these buildings....Lining up good....Wham! Damn...hit the ground faster than I thought sitting up almost 4 stories....oh well 1st time at it....whoa boy!
Drum roll please......
Landing Score:42.00 (I'll take it...all considering)
Landing included the following problems: - Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
- Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
- Glideslope lost before you touched down - not your best effort.
- Not near the centre line - you can do better.
Definite room for improvement...
Flight Score:148.30 (Not bad at all!)
Flight included the following problems: - Exceeding flap speeds - your flaps may be damaged: have them checked.
- Poor attention to taxi speed - dangerous to yourself and others.
- Airspeed too low - you are risking stalls.
- Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable.
- Poorly trimmed aircraft - trimmers are there to help: use them.

| Boy Joe. 148.30 New high score there. Great! And I see that you cheat.... are stepping up to the 747. Brave thing to do!  I must admit that I am in negotiations with Boeing myself, to radically change the course of my flight, and actually double my fleet, with a 737, or a 747. I just need some guidence on which plane is most suitable for me. I may fall to the ground all together, but If, then It will be from the beginning of WWT part 3.
Regards
Ole Andreasen, Denmark

| FACT to FAPE (November 9th, 2008) Cape Town, South Africa to Port Elizabeth, South Africa I cannot end today on a sour note, so I'll remain calm and take it easy and fly around the southern most part of Africa and head east to Port Elizabeth.   
Couple new airliners - Nationwide, South African, and Brittish Airways to boot.
  
I see a full moon arisen. What do you know, let's go ahead and add bad weather...
  
Can't see squat. But as usual, if you wait long enough you can see FSX weather is fantastic.
  
Everything looking well....Yes! Nailed the landing....taxi home Smitty.
Landing Score:130.50
A splendid landing!
Flight Score:135.11
Flight included the following problems:
- Airspeed too low - you are risking stalls.
- Narrowly missed tail strike - watch your pitch: this could have been bad.

Leaving Port Elizabeth behind.
  
Clear skies the whole flight until, you guessed it, just about the time I need to land. Last picture kinda cool, trying to fly around the edge of a cloud, but no worries.
  
Over shot the runway, having to battle back to get it centered, but as usual, Ace pilot here stinks....
Landing Score:53.00
Landing included the following problems:
- Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
- Not near the centre line - you can do better.
- Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.
Flight Score:135.57
