Decision time for our next leg to Malta

We have 1160 nm ahead of us using the airways.

Flying a new plane and having some weight limitation in the group...the chance of doing direct the next leg are slim...but the wind are forecast to be strong and on our tail in excess of 120 kts for at least 50% of the route...tempting....

But I am a firm believer not to chance "Murphy" and i made the decision  on behalf of the group to stop enroute to refuel.

The obvious choice was Ibiza.

This gave a nice  pattern on  the SpiderTracks  since we went there twice and each time we had to use the runway opposite our direction of flight.

While we have 3 Mustang on the Journey, we also had 3 TBM in Marrakech
