Indeed it is and congrats! Well, Ivan may be an 'ignorant technocratic oligarch' but nevertheless ... look what is preparing at Dubrovnik's Cilipi ... :D

This is perhaps the most nostalgic and "wistfully patriotic" paint job for a 'what if ...' I had ever done so far ... *sheds a tiny lil' tear over the Swissair debacle now already long gone and buried*
 
I have the baton @ __LDDU__ ...

... flying to LGPZ in Greece - B-50H Superfortress 'what if Swissair would have gotten a surplus one ....'
 
Baton safe down and free ...

@ LGPZ ... [EDIT] scratching off Greece from list ... *phew* ... OMG look how close the timing was - *phew again* :D

Wing down safe, but Duenna not green. Beginners mistake - I need to take Slew off the 'Y' key. Slewed accidentally while typing.:banghead:

Well done Tom, it looked like a great approach from where I was 3 miles behind you.

ThankXXX - well sh?? happens ... I remember I once did that also - no longer sure if it was in a training round or in the race even ... I remember it was in the alps somewhere

[EDIT] BTW - stupid me, I had thought, that I have time until 11:24 - because I mistakenly read your post time of the wingman post as mine instead of 10:11 from my own baton ... lucky!!!

I have the Baton. LGPZ to LB22. Flying the Freeware CitationX. . .AGAIN!
. . . .the Baton is back at LPGZ.
 
I have the baton @ __LGPZ__ ...

..., flying to LGTS (Greece internal affairs), Republic Thunderbolt II (ex RAF, now in swiss registration (A.A.F P-47D-30-RE)

=> first test of my realism package done via a set of XML gauges in a baton flight - it will limit water injection for ADI to 15 minutes and will produce a 'failed' engine when MIL power is used for more than 15 minutes also - exceeding VNE's (varies with altitude & external loadout according to original Thunderbolt manuals) will make external tanks to leak and so on ... like open canopy and opened cowl flaps increase drag, and some more 'goodies' to increase the 'frust / fun factor' of the sim pilot ;-)

@ LGTS - nice and easy - although it got a bit hectic over the field - stupid me - blew ILS catch up and had to do another 'fighter landing' - lucky visibility was good

[EDIT]proposing to head for Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland (cannot resist), Luxemburg, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia again, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and back to Russia ...[/EDIT]
