RTWR 2014 Practice #2 "Longyear Express"

That's plenty Martin as the Hornet makes a good glider with no power! Ask Dave! :icon_twisted:

:very_drunk:

I hold the record for that one I believe.

I ran our of gas 30nm from the airport and dead sticked it in.

Larry finished with maybe 2% fuel because he conserved it while I poured it on. We were battling 100 kt head winds coming into Israel.

Of course I was at 32,000 when I ran out.
 
The coast of China is in sight. And I'm in a VAQ-133 ship... Better get the CMDS on line... ETE 0:45

This will be another dud. Hornet has a range of 3000nm...this leg was 600nm. with 275nm to go, I have 27% fuel remaining after having started with full tanks. Most likely I'll be setting down in some Mongolian Nomad Village at some point very soon. This is why I don't fly in these races, lol.
