AIRCRAFT TO USE

THESE TOURS REQUIRE GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT ONLY,  
PLEASE DONT USE ANY FAST MILITARY JETS, OR FAST AIRCRAFT
.  

It is advised that you use default aircraft as other flyers can see you better,  
and you wont be replaced by something different within flight simulator.  

200+ knots... :o...!

Bleedin Norah, Jimbo!

There's nothing in the way of GA Piston Props in my Hangar which will maintain those speeds continuously for 2+ hours without exploding!... :o...!

Even my trusty Baron 58 will be running flat-out over the whole distance, with a risk of trashing both my motors... :'(...!

My Mechanic is not a Happy Chappy...I can tell by the glum look on his face, and by the 5 gallons of spare engine oil he is carrying!..... :(...!

Paul...2+ hours @ 200+ knots?....Just studying my Aircraft Insurance documents again....::).... 8-)...!

2 Hours was far beyond my limited concentration.

So, not wishing to be deafened by my twin Teledyne Continental engines roaring flat-out, I spent the first hour watching the intrepid flight simmers on my FS-Navigator Radar, whilst tinkling the ivories on my piano, and joined my Chums later on, for the remainder of the Tour in the usual fun flight.. 8-)...!

Paul.... ;)...!
