| Testing...testing.... HUEN to HAAB (November 16th, 2008) Entebbe, Uganda to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Ok....here' my excuse. I been having a little trouble with my computer system from time to time. I was making some practice flights trying to figure out what the heck was going on, wrong, etc. I evidently was messing with a smaller aircraft, and barely had any fuel in the smaller plane. Decided to go back to the 737 and take off without checking the fuel tanks. Well you guessed it....shortly after takeoff, and about 50 miles from Entebbe, I ran out of fuel, and tried to make it back. Came up several miles short and crashed majestically into the side of a hillside. Obviously, I have to work on my emergency trim procedures.   
  
   Landing Score: 0.00 Flight Score: 0.00

| HSSS to HECA (November 22nd, 2008) Khartoum, Sudan to Cairo, Egypt This is where I started having issues with my computer big time. My computer started freezing up irractically, and got pretty bad to the point I was about to give up on it. So the next few flights, I could figure it out until a few posting from now. So I have no pictures of this flight and did not record any scoring because I tried 3 times to make this flight and gave up. HECA to OLBA (November 22nd, 2008) Cairo, Egypt to Beruit, Lebanon. I tried this flight 2 times and gave up. I did get some pictures before my computer bombed out. Finally figured out what I think was the problem was. I was running a defrag program that ran 24/7. I disabled it, and it seemed that everything started magically working again. So anyway I've got no numbers to post but I did manage to get some pictures of Cairo, before my computer froze up...Enjoy.   
  
Downtown Cairo, and heading west to one of the Seven Wonders of the Word. The great pyramids.
  
Some more shots ofthe pyramids, and then about 1/2 after this picture computer bombed out....but from now on, I think I finally got it licked...Well we'll see?

| OSDI to LLBG (November 23rd, 2008) Damascas, Syria to Tel-Aviv, Isreal Another fairly short flight of 116 nm. I actually had a chance for a business trip to Tel-Aviv, Isreal. It was about a year after the 1st Gulf war in the 90's, so it was a little stressful, but got an opportunity to see quite a bit of of the landcape.   
Loading up the CRJ-700 jet. Leaving Demascas. Flying next to the Sea of Gallallie.
  
Flying over the Dead Sea to the north. Coming in from the West over the Med. Sea. Lining up nicely for landing.
  
Little high but bringing it down to screech the tires.
Landing Score:101.04
Landing included the following problems: - Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
- Too fast - you had to force the plane to stay down.
Flight Score:120.38
Flight included the following problems: - Late rotation - when Vr is reached - take off.
- Airspeed too low - you are risking stalls.
- Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable.
- Nose held too low - we're not in combat.

| LLBG to LLJR (November 23rd, 2008) Tel-Aviv, Isreal to Jerusalem, Isreal Like I stated earlier, I figured if I got a once in a lifetime trip to a country, I thought I'd take a trip up to Jerusalem to see what it's all about. Actually visited the old temple city, witnessed a battling masses of different faiths in the old temple. Actually, I'm not the most religious of people, but that was quite fascinating to say the least.   
Short 19nm flight that seem to take forever with ATC...
  
Dead sea again in the background.
 
Pretty elevated airport, hadn't flown the Mooney in awhile, so landing was fairly crappy. Deserve what ol' Smitty gave me for a score.
Landing Score:52.70
Landing included the following problems: - Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
- Throttle(s) forward - should be idle.
- Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.
Flight Score:90.04
Flight included the following problems: - Exceeding flap speeds - your flaps may be damaged: have them checked.
- Wings not level near ground - danger of clipping a wing.
