Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape".
- Comments... boring scenery.  And no airplanes on the ramp on arrival... spooky.
- In RW, third flight of the day... I might have napped in my seat enroute... 13.5 hours time difference and over 24 hours of travel is hard on a fella... not a bad way to spend a day off!
