Flying with the Birds !!!

[fppilot]

Currently on a west coast road swing with the Baltimore Orioles as they remain ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in a battle for the MLB American League East pennant.  Two long flights scheduled for tomorrow to return back to Baltimore from Oakland in time to get some rest before hosting the tough Toronto Blue Jays in a three game series starting Tuesday.  Will stretch the Hjet to its limit for the flight from Oakland (KOAK) to Kansas City Wheeler/Downtown (KMKC) in the first flight tomorrow.  1,326nm @ M 0.65 and FL430 for fuel economy.   

 

 to be flown at FL430 and

My minority shareholder has only a Chicago White Sox related flight from Denver/Rocky Mountain (KBJC) to Chicago Midway (KMDW) tomorrow. But then again, the White Sox are far out of the playoff race! 🤧

Looking good Frank!

Glad to see you're still creating liveries for the awesome Hjet for your virtual flights to sporting events 🙂   You should plan a fuel stop/leg stretch event for your long Oakland to KC trip.  Maybe stop at an airport you've never been to before that you can maybe find a good rendition of on flightsim.to?

I've been doing some Comanche flights to places I've never been before...its a nice diversion from all the PMDG airliner testing I'm doing at the moment. 😉   And I did do a quick Hjet flight to test the slick Simbrief integration...man am I rusty on that plane!

Did a Tampa to Key West with her....she got to park in a hangar after the dusk flight!

Got the OAK - MKC flight in.  Four souls on board, about 1/3rd baggage capacity.  FL430. 1,321nm and an unusual -3 wind component.  Landed with 550 lbs of fuel in reserve.

Liked this attractive livery of White/Grey/Black colors on the Hjet...The speed lines are a nice touch... (but yes, my local team's performance this year is another matter ...) ...
