I saw this in another forum but I can't remember the URL now.  But anyways tonite I will be embarking on journey.

Here are the trip details:

February 20th, 2007

Airplane: PMDG 747 Virgin Atlantic 19 Heavy
Departure/Arrival Airport: Heathrow (EGLL) to San Fransico (KSFO)
Departing Time: 8:30 PM est 1:30 AM GMT
Arrival Time: Around 6:30 am est
ETA: 10hrs 13 mins
Altitude: FL360
Speed: 300 Kts
Flight Plan: IFR
Route: EGLL - TNX - CAZAR - D102X - KSFO

Thats whats goin on later tonite. Obviously I'm not gonna stay up to monitor the whole flight. Thank god for the save flight feature lol. I may do a video on preflight startup, takeoff and then landing. (Maybe).

I never do scheduled commercial flights. I grabbed my virtual mailbag and started flying to the various secluded outpost/camps/towns in Alaska...

mostly doing my tours on saturdays. don't have time on the weekdays to fly much. I have done a Honolulu to LA once. it was my first big run.

Well I actually departed from Heathrow at 9 pm est and ATC just instructed me to climb to FL240. All is well.

I fly for AIRSOURCE it is a virtual airline and it has a sechedule division that allows you to select from several different airlines schedules. So you can fly Delta Southwest UsAir or whatever airline you desire as Airsource has most of the actual schedules for most of the airlines. I for one try to limit my flights to less than 4 to 5 hours in length but have flown longer legs but only flown a couple of legs that were more than 8 hours in length. I even managed to break up a flight from SYDNEY to Hawai. I used a cesna 172 using actual islands as stopping points along the way, I use Active Sky for weather so when the weather was bad I just waited for it to clear up. 8-)

It all depends in my trusty PMDG 747...

EGLL - KBOS
EGLL - WMKK
EGLL - KSEA
EGLL - KSFO
EGLL - VHHH
EGLL - VHHH - YSSY
EGLL - OMDB
EGKK - KMIA
EGKK - KMCO

And more, these are the only ones I can think of as such.
