I tested a bunch of airplanes Maddog, and it's why I chose the A-4. Had a tailwind the whole route too. Dave for sure, and perhaps others will beat me in fuel economy; we shall see on speed...

 

[Dangerousdave26]

Dave for sure, ..

I am employing Secret Rosewell Alien Technology that the Swedish bought from the US...

We put Moth balls in the fuel tank before we take off.

heh, I'm not complaining. I'm just amazed you kept it subsonic considering the top speed is 649kts, and 50 kts faster than my 'A' model thats faster IRL than the 'C' (by 20 kts). Even your fuel consumption is surprising considering the A-4 is supposed to get only 1800 miles with 1800 gallons, and you got 1400 on 875 gallons.

Nice plane, one day I'll have to buy them Razbam thingy's.

I don't build 'em; I just fly 'em. Can't quote any real world numbers either because I don't care. All jets are notorious for incorrect fuel use in the sim; some worse than others.
I'm having fun. Don't care squat if I win.
Go fly now Maddog!
