Hello all, apologies for not posting for so long!  I have been planning a Round the World flight on Flight Simulator for the Devon Air Ambulance, which will be going ahead starting on the 17th December.  The flight will be done in one sitting, meaning that we will be completing this flight in roughly 58 hours.  It will involve myself, and five other cadets from my squadron taking turns to fly each leg of the flight and it will be harsh!  Any help with donations etc will be gratefully recieved!
There is a website for the event at http://www.freewebs.com/daatfundraiser

OMG this is going to be a harsh one!

What route, what aircraft, and are you trying to beat a current official record?
