Day 9 - No where to land

After we took off from Vicksburg we soon found ourselves in low level cloud. The decision was made to fly above the cloud in much better visability and away from the high rise communication mast that are prevalent in the USA. It is alway a little errily flying with no sight of land in and aircraft with basic instruments. I alway kept sight of a hole as we flew and had to eventually excise the option as the cloud just became thicker and thicker.
A steep bank controlled spiral dive got us threw the last remaining hole in the clouds and back into relatively low viability and mild mechanical turbulence. The joys of VFR cross country flying.

Below is a 20 second video of diving through the cloud hole. Click on the play button below,(you may have to click it twice to get it started) Should play instantly if you have broadband.Enjoy !

We we arrived at Natchez to be greeted by another ground controller this time with much less enthusiasm than the last ground controller how gave us the full salut.

Life on the road - too hot to sit in the car even at night. Anna-Klara stealing bandwidth and you though Swede's were pretty straight ah !!
