Aerosoft "Round the World in 80 Days" Event

[jt_williams 291]

Folks,

FYI.  

Received a telegram (email) from someone called Phileas Fogg who invited me to participate in a round the world flight event.  I think I'm going to give it a go in the DC-6.

Ron, this would be perfect opportunity for you to spend some quality time with Frippe learning the NGX

I got the same telegram. Still pondering. Maybe an L-39 LR

Sounds good. Unfortunately, I can join only mid October, but I will give a go from there.

I'm in... will be flying the Just Flight Canberra mostly.  This was the kick I needed to start learning it properly.  Will start later in the week.

Eamonn just put out a new Duenna that supports P3Dv4.  Woo Hoo!  Up on the RTW race site.

 

I will fly my first leg this evening.  One of the participants (Windswept) is contributing very droll entries into his flight diary.  He's flying the AN2.  He'll be lucky to finish in 80 days.

Inspired by Jeff, I just flew my first segment: London City to Paris Le Bourget..

Hard to find a hotel room there - busy place  

Note to Jeff, you may want to consider Port Hardy an alternate option, and head for Comox instead, if you have the fuel.. Nice long military runway and better facilities..
