Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape".
- Comments... Nice flight to my last country. Winds aloft were around 30 kts from the WNW which hurt my ground speed.  But full tanks ensured range/duration wasn't a problem.
- In RW, still cold.  Got great feedback from the A2A folks on the Tour!  Also fired up my HF radio last night once I sorted out the antenna issues.  Tomorrow I'll begin my journey back home through Russia, Alaska and into Canada.
