Anyway, on to Luanda, Angola, Africa. The flight from Wide Awake to 4th of February International Airport is 1640NM, which I did at FL290, cruising at 295KIAS (.74 Mach) 447kts groud speed. (Most of the way. For the last 200 or so NM, I had a tailwind, and was doing 454kts groundspeed.) Radios went from Tower to Atlantico Center, Dakar Center, Accra Center, Luanda Center, to tower. Got some nice photos during the daylight flight, and I discovered that Wikipedia has a WikiMapia, which has much better aerial photos than MS's Live Search does. I'll be putting up a few new photos of other places I've visited.
