World Tour 2 - Leg 49 - Hualien to Shimojishima

After repairing the Baron, my passengers seem to have disappeared.... without paying. So I need to find new jobs to pay the bills. Luckily, I found a group of people willing to go to Okinawa, so I decide to forget about Taipei and fly towards Japan right now.

As soon as I take off, I head towards the Pacific Ocean. I climb high, as usual over the sea, and fly over Taketomi and Ishigaki islands.

















From here I continue towards Miyakoyima, but I realised about a problem. The weather radar is broken and the skies are not precisely clear. I'm having plenty of failures lately on the Baron, maybe it would need a rest... So after thinking a bit, I decided not to take the risk of finding clouds and rain over the sea without the radar. I'll make a short stop at Miyakoyima then, to fix the radar.











I hope these passengers don't fly away this time...
