Hello Kevin,
N95803 landed in Singapore last Sunday after 77 hours ferry trip via the North Pacific. There were two legs of over 16 hours each between Adak in the Aleutians and Sendai in Japan, the other one being the flight between Sendai and Clarks (Manilla). Great ferry pilot, Bill Leahy. His web site :

The aircraft was almost trouble free and the oil consumption an amazing one quart in 50 hours except for the oil change halfway..
I have some good photos and movies of approaches but they are all high resolution. Katmai in Katmai country :) with iceberg, glacier, fog , whales.... If you PM me your mail address , I could send you a DVD, maybe you could post some of the shots. Bill might put some on his web site before the next ferry.
I already enjoyed my first very short field take off and slow approaches. Can't wait to fly again this weekend.
edited to add low res shots..
Cheers
JJ
