So it seems. No one in the cockpit but me, considering I'm carrying a full load of passengers and fuel.

Make sure to have lots of coffee. :o

I could use some coffee right now. I'm a little over halfway there now, northeast of Japan.

Here are some shots:

Northwest Territories. Not exactly breathtaking, is it?

I made a mistake here. I realize now I should have pressed P before Y when going into Walk and Follow. The wings are flexible so pressing Y the wings dip back into their original position. I won't make that mistake when I do a sunrise shot. Here I've reached the 4,000nm mark with 6,000 to go.

How's this for a "Where am I now? ;D Northeast of Japan.

The shots look cool and the flight is, well crazy.

I'm not a mod, but you are over the 600k limit by more than 250000. You need to make some of them links.
