Re: Leg 10 underway - Finally!!

[BFMF]

cool, was wondering if you have been doing more legs recently with all the panel designing

[BFMF]

Sounds like you need more practice

The entrance is easy to find John. The big blue bit on the left is the Atlantic, the thin blue bit on the right is the canal, now just find where they meet!!!!
But seiriously I'm glad to see you are back up there

Mark

[BFMF]

Didn't realize the weather was that bad down there

lol..., I've fallen asleep before during a flight, woke up to find my aircraft had been circling the destination airport for about an hour

[Cherokee_6]

Enduro-Flight-Award coming your way!

Way to go...

May I suggest you save your flight periodically during your marathon, just in case your pc should fall asleep before you do!

It would be a shame to lose it...

woohoo, cuba, almost with in the 2000 mile range of my first requested visit!

[BFMF]

What is your planned route on crossing the Pacific?

[Bazza]

What do you do with your  SPARE time ?   (LOL.)

After Australia you better come and see me in New Zealand, turn left (port) at Sydney, then about 1200 miles, look out for the Mountains.    Pack your lunch.

Wow, Tipster!!!

Almost 18 hours

I think we should nominate you for the
"Virtual Aviation Ironman Award".  

[BFMF]

[quote]I certainly will. Interesting you mention NZ.

[BFMF]

LOL - the endurance topic came up a while back when I did Leg 8. Sadly, I'm not even in the running for the award. There were several people who had done much longer stints than mine!

The longest flight i've done is around 14 hours. YOu just flew to longest virtual flight i've ever hear of

Good Job Tipster...

Not to rush you or anything...but when are you going to post the pics?

I am eager to see (and read) how it went..

In Addition: How can you calculate how far the baron can go without refueling? (obviously wind and other factors play their part)

Thanks

[BFMF]

There's a gauge on the new Baron panel that calculates the fuel flow, airspeed and shows how far and how much time you can fly before you run out of fuel

btw John, if your route up the west coast takes you in the area of Northern Idaho, drop by and have a drink
