June 13, 20169 yr So, what is there in my hangar that has a range of almost 5000 nautical miles and yet doesn't take all day to get there? Why the Valkyrie I left at Boscombe of course! The plan took me out over the North Sea, Denmark, the Baltic skirting northern Russia then dropping down to the Kamchatka Peninsula. The sun didn't set! Evening takeoff, brakes off at about half eight. Taxying out LIGHT 'EM UP!! Turning to follow the flightplan. Top of climb - Flight level 750 About 500 nm to go. On the descent. ILS approach to 34R in the murk. Good job there's plenty of runway left - she's a tricky bird to land! Phew! Greetings! Thanks for viewing Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot. The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)
