Wow, I've been doing this for almost 8 hours already. It looks like there is still almost 10hours to go. The fuel on landing hasn't gone up as much as I would like it too and now I've got a 10kts wind on the nose. That shouldn't last too long (I hope). The sun is starting to come up in front of me as I make my way towards the West Coast of North America.
I've used 183,000lbs of fuel so far.
4574nm to go
I might have to roll down the window and put a sail up or something. I'm not as tired as I was earlier, but I'm sure I will be soon.
Update:
Well it's not looking good for landing at KILN. My fuel burn is way up as I've been fighting a head wind for a while now. The wind hasn't been too strong, but enough to burn up any reserves I was hoping for. I may have to decide if I want to try and land at KILN or pick an alt. and land there with more fuel on reserve.
