Oh dear. Fozzer will be stuck on his own in Kommunist airspace...with his Kapitalist airplane. I might have to escort that Baron with my L-39. ;D

Just a note, I won't be using An-225 as my name during these flights anymore. It'll either be RA-96018 or CCCP-82060. ;)

If am comfortable with it enough by then, I'll try to bring my new Yak-40.
Otherwise, expect an Antonov An-24.

For Fozzer, I suppose he could try out any of the following eastern designs:

Looking forward to seeing a crowd there. The FS2004 scenery for the destination is pretty good, too.

138 Miles....

I spent yesterday afternoon trying out some of my default, General Aviation, Piston/Turbine-Prop Aircraft, in anticipation of a rapid journey for the Multiplayer trip....
...and my Trusty Turbo-Charged, default, Beech Baron 58 will still match most of them for speed.....<220 Knots...253 MPH!
...and is a good deal more manageable than my various default Turbine-Props...
...and Jets are out of the question!... :o...!

So...as usual.. I will be polishing the spinners on my Trusty Baron.... :-*...!
..and, as always, I try to use default aircraft for the Multiplayer sessions so that they appear "correctly" to other Pilots (hopefully!).. ;)...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Nav...and a pair of glowing spinners!... :-*...!

P.S.

All it takes is a little perseverance with the flight manuals, Paul!

I don't speak a word of Russian (except for "Hello" and "Goodbye"), and I routinely fly a number of Russian aircraft with accurate panels!  ;)

In any case, I think someone is going to have to get you a faux-Soviet livery for that Baron!  ;D :)

Flight Plan Filed... :)...!

I will try out my (default) Beech King Air 350 (Turbine Prop) this morning to see how she compares with speed, to my trusty, turbocharged,
