Well today, took off from Oceana Naval Air Station, at 4:00pm ( my time) and flew like they did many years ago, (found a line of latitude and went the length) to the Canaries,, then across Portugal and most of Spain, then Cyprus, and then finally landed at Baghdad at almost 8:00pm (my time)  8)

Nonstop? I'm afraid those poor B-29 fuel tanks would dry up and shrivel before your arrival at Canaries. ;)
