My favorite part of the whole video was the timelapse at the end, when you crossed the Ramu valley in about 3 seconds, went back into clouds, and then broke out of the clouds really low over the Bena Gap (or whatever gap that was)

      Those guys (WWII pilots) must have had balls of iron. No satellite weather maps, ATC flight service, or GPS to navigate around the mountains and the tricky weather. They had to rely on pilotage and dead reckoning using inaccurate paper maps. To get home, Port Moresby or Rabaul might have had low frequency radio range equipment if the ground station didn't get bombed or the aircraft radio happened to work. And of course, somebody could be shooting at you while you are trying to deal with all of this.

    I love this! I looked up your location on MSFS 2020 and look forward to trying out some flights!
    The weather forecast is correct AT THE TIME OF REPORTING. Weather changes every minute. I learned that from winters in Chicago. LOL
