I didn;t have too many worries with wind coming across the Bearing Sea/North Atlantic but picked some up from Atka to PAEH. I have just flown PAEH to K55 ( Thomsons Pass) and had some good headwinds. With a TAS of 190 i could only get a ground speed of 170 knots. The planned winds were not that strong and swung more to the abeam a little higher so i climbed to FL130 and picked up a better wind. It still took me a little longer than planned tho. Time permitting i might press on to Faro (CZFA ) although it sure gets dark early up this way.
