Out to Lunch Flight - Molybdenum, I ate a Fly etc

So, I somehow find myself in Lousisiana in the 350 and I figure “fuel is cheap” let’s go to Alice Springs!

Of course it can’t make it in one hop. But I chart a course anyway.

Just stop for fuel as necessesary and make it a road trip!

Casual (cause I take a liberty or two:), time basically around the clock.

The course is basically Lousiana as direct as possible to Alice Springs in the heart of Australia:

Into one of the refueling stops - approach over a large lumber manufacturer in outer Mongolia:

Out of that refuelling stop - huge molybdenum mine in Outer Mongolia (Molybdenum is the co-mined product with what major element?):

Safe arrival into Alice Springs. Darn, fly season: I just swallowed a fly (not so uncommon):
