After spending the night in Baracoa, it was time to head east. I took off from Runway 34 and then banked left to turn almost 180 degrees. I returned the plane to straight and level flight. I continued east, leaving Cuba for the last time on the tour. I continued across the Windward Passage. I readjusted my course further south to head towards Port-au-Prince (PAP/MTPP). The flight was going too smoothly. As I neared Port-au-Prince, I flew over some mountainous terrain. I didn't pull up in time, and I slammed into the side of the hill. As always, I put myself back where I had been, and this time climbed excessively high to insure I wouldn't crash again. The straight-in approach went well and I landed beautifully. A near-perfect leg.
Note: with this update complete, I am caught up with all the legs I have flown before I started the blog. From now on, all updates will be made as I fly the various legs. This should make the updates more detailed.
