Very nice shots ;)

Did you fly the entire 30 hours real time? ;D ;)

btw, if you're still interested, I found a windows version of my 'Guess The Number' game

Andrew, do you believe that I would take these pics without flying the entire journey? Shame on you I am deeply hurt  ;) I relish the idea of staring at my monitor for 30+ hours due to the fact there was no AutoPilot installed back in the Golden Years when Lindburgh made his flight, no consideration for us simmers huh, lol ;D

Yes I am still interested in your "Guess the numbers" do you still have my email?
