Around the world, Salina KS to Salina KS.  This was in the Aeroplane Heaven Virgin Global Flyer.  Majority of it was on AP every now and then I would pop into the sim and adjust if I was getting off-course.  Take off with full fuel was interesting.

In flew the below legs in the A2A B-17G as part of the 91st Bombardment Group's
"Hop Program". A series of 135 hops designed to familiarize new members with
the operation of that aircraft and to hone formation flying skills.

We always fly 'real time' and I personally always stay in the VC except for
head calls and a trip to the kitched for more coffee.

I have flown all of these legs more than once. Initially after I first joined
the 91st a few years back, and subsequently to accompany other new pilots on
their hops as various phases require a minimum of 2, 3 or 4 B-17s in formation.

The longest flight time was approximately 12 1/2 hours.

 

My current A2A B-17G has over 1700 hours on it   The lowest time

engine (#2) has more then 1500 hours on it.

For a single session there are three canidates (on two I may have saved once en route but It was a while ago so I can't be sure)

 

- Brisbane (YBBN) - Rarotonga (NCRG) PMDG 737-700 2,582 nm (This was definitely in one session

 

- New York/JFK (KJFK) - Amsterdam (EHAM) PMDG MD-11 3,166 nm

 

- Athens (LGAV) - Bangkok/Suvarnabhumi (VTBS) PMDG MD-11 4,287 nm

 

Longest in a Classic Airliner

 

- Bermuda (TXKF) - London/Gatwick (EGKK) Captain Sim 707-320B 2,998 nm

 

Longest in Multi Sessions

 

- Los Angeles (KLAX) - Alice Springs (YBAS) PMDG 777-200LR 7,032 nm. Was the second flight in the 777 I did after a short KPAE-KLAX hop

 

Years ago in FS9 I did Toulouse (LFBO) - Noumea (NWWW) 9,306 nm in I think the Posky A340-200. I was trying to get to Auckland but got low on fuel so I diverted to Noumea. But for that flight I did use time compression.

Heathrow to Valencia in the PMDG 737NG - about 2 hours 20 mins.   :smile:

Perth to Johannesburg - just over 4500nm in just over 3 hours. Ground speed of 1548kt for most of the trip in the XB-70. Mach 2.7 cruise at FL750 for max range. Still had over 34000lb of fuel in the tanks when taxiing in. Should have put her on M3.0 for a few miles!
