Leg 11: Kuwait City (OKBK), Kuwait to Manama (OBBI), Bahrain
Summary
Leg 11 has us heading South towards Bahrain, following along the Southern coast of the Persian Gulf. Our approach has us circling out over the Gulf before heading back towards the island of Bahrain. The weather today is very good, just a few small clouds about and a little haze. Nice weather for flying and some great views over the desert and oil fields of Saudi Arabia. Well, my landing here left a lot to be desired. It was all looking good as I touched down, but as I applied the brakes the back end started to slide out from under me and I ended up off the runway and on the grass sideways…
