Continuing from update 14:
Flying towards Japan, I’m island hopping across the Kuril Islands, a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Russia. I expect I’m about 2 hours and maybe 2 maybe 3 more legs before I reach Japan.
Up to this point I’ve only been flying to airports with services so I can refuel, but given the sparseness of these islands I’m making an exception – if the runway is long enough to land then that’s good enough for this sequence of legs before I arrive in Japan.
