Good flight with a nice turnout of simmers! I had a double shift today as I completed the previous stage of the World Tour as well (I couldn’t join the pack last time). Flew with the C-47, getting the hang of it and not feeling as intimidated by it as I felt the first time I tried it. :sweat_smile: It was very cool that the pack stayed together for almost the whole trip. :sunglasses: Can’t wait for the next stage!
