Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Thanks so much guys! 😉 

Great shots!

Love both aircraft in the 1st shot.....have both aircraft. 🙂

Going to be testing the Twotter in Antarctica soon (the beta just started over at Aerosoft and I was invited to join....can't post pics here yet, but you can check out what the beta testers have shown so far over at AS's site.). 😉 

I'm not a great pilot though....those penguins should be very scared when I start flying up there! 🤣

Your flying suffers because instead of focusing on flying you’re constantly staring at Paintshop. I’ve actually seen you do it.

Interesting experience navigating across the Antarctic continent.  Flew from McMurdo sound, NZIR to Chile scci, 2744 nm in my trusty C-118.  Flight plan included way points about 65+ miles using intersections like 6478W, etc.  Piece of cake.  Now I'm going to duplicate Charles Blair's fright from Bardufoss, Norway to Fairbanks, Alaska in the C-118.  However, he did it in the early 1950s in a P-51C, Excalibur III,

North American P-51C, "Excalibur III"

Now hanging in the museum at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. 

 

Great book about him, "Red Ball In The Sky."

Well since I just got my new, cataract-less peepers installed...we'll see if I can devote more time to flying, 🙂   Wondering if it was all those virtual paint fumes that gave them to me in the 1st place?

They are still healing and should get my final prescription in a few weeks.

 @jmdriskell, I left you a PM over at the PMDG forum, I think you should read it. 😉
