Just flew the first leg of the event and the only thing i can say is...I cant wait for more!!!:}:}:}
here are my pictures from the flight, flew with real world weather but visi became way too bad for a visual approach and i had to change the weather settings. Also, if i had not canceled IFR and headed to runway 7 instead of 25 as directed by ATC, i wouldnt have enough fuel to make it.

Note my fuel left onboard, definitely not enough for runway 25 considering how much fuel i had during approach.

Definitely my craziest flight for EHM:}:]
