Small villages hug narrow coastlines while mountains rise directly from the sea. Navigation grows more complicated as clouds obscure landmarks and tropical showers appear without warning. Fred remains calm. His charts cover the navigation table from one end to the other. Compass headings. Estimated winds. Groundspeed calculations. Every figure contributes to keeping the Electra precisely on course. Kupang appears late in the afternoon. The airfield is quiet compared to previous stops. There are fewer reporters here. Fewer photographers. The farther east Amelia flies, the fewer people seem to realize history is unfolding above their skies. For Amelia, that is perfectly acceptable. She has always preferred flying to fame.
