I try to fly a connected log book. I'm at SBEG and trying to get to SWKO which appears to be a gravel strip with no lights or instrument approaches. Well, it seems that it rains down there every single day and I can't seem to catch a break to get my turboprop to SWKO! These accomplishments are more challenging than simply flying to an airport. They take weather patience.

At least half of them have no charts......becoming very challenging if the weather is not clear!
Btw....why this achievement isn't showing on the left column when I post?

Only certain achievements show Vincenzo and some drop off the bottom. I don't know why some show and some don't.

Pfft. Try flying the White Knuckles Club with a connected logbook. I'm still working on that (enroute EDDF-KDFW now)! SO MANY CONNECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is one long drawn out process, but worth it for the fun.

Iditarod is impossible (well, not impossible, but hard) as well. I'm just requesting a charter for CYVQ-CYQH since I don't want to do all those routes again
Good luck!

Same thing last night. T-storms all over the Amazon. I may have to just risk it and skim the treetops so I can see the field.

Yeah, I found out a couple of days ago that lots of low clouds aren't fun in Alaska. I probably shouldn't have flown that day. I was surprised when I saw the runway at PAJN (as well as the hill in front of it that makes the approach fun). I thought I'd crash into a mountain as soon as I was below the clouds. None of these accomplishments are easy, and I love them for that! Thanks Andrew
