Hey all,

I thought I'd post this here because people might appreciate it and it took me so long to do.

 

I've flown around the world in the Learjet in FSX. I've attached the IFR flight plans for my trip.

 

Lessons learned:

  • At 35kft at mach .80 the learjet can fly further than the manual states
  • The Pacific Ocean is massive
  • Africa is huge
  • Saudi Arabia is as boring as the ocean
  • patience is a virtue

 

I flew 40000km for 60 hours without ever changing the simulation rate.

"We could come back with hydraulics shot out, half the tail shot off, piece of the wing shot off, we had two engines and could come home with one... She really was a piece of machinery that you could fly into hell and back... And she was designed around that gun from day 1"

I assume you got some sleep during the flight. :) That's quite a feat. Congratulations! I know I wouldn't have the patience. Nor the time come to think about it.

Thats pretty cool, don't own FSX, maybe I should get it one day, I would do a flight like this. I would take a book with me though, Lord of the Rings or some such epic, hehe.

Mate,

 

cannot tell you how often I started this 'mission'. Never made it the whole way around.

 

But...for more adventure and being able to visit some smaller airfields I tried it in the King Air.

I'm going to close this as it is OT for these boards. For this type of content, please use a board that has some connection to FSX.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Come let's eat grandpa!
