I t was no trouble.
It -really worked .
That was the one that I was
probably most famili ar with. It's such an obvious
one. It's out in t he middle of t he desert and
it ' s t he intersection of the big Nile, where it
junctions into two other sections, a little island
and a northern tip of the island .
I was able t o
pick the island up from the t i p quite clearly.
I did take a couple pictures , I believe, of it ,
but we were just passing and I wasn ' t tracking.
I did r eport that it was a good landmark and
qui te easy to see .
We did get an instruction at this time to go to
the normal flight plan at 22 hours. This was
something that was kind of hard to do .
I don't
t hink we really ever got back on much of a normal
flight plan for the whole flight , but we did get
instructions at 22 hours elapsed time to r eturn
t o our normal flight plan .
At this time Jim was
still asleep.
We got the update th9.t the Hawks
won 3 to 2 .
Ha ha ha ha h9..
I r elayed t hat information to Jim when he woke up.
