I have the "batoon", DeHavilland Mosquito Mk IV. WAAA - WAPP, Henry let me borrow one of his...

At 21,500 feet as dawn breaks over the Java Sea. Very pretty. ETE 1:18.

wabp..?

 

[jkcook28]

my sheet says WAPP-->WAJJ, it could have been changed?

 

[PRB]

A recommended change, that's all.

 

[jkcook28]

rgr that. But it makes sense! :costumes:

I'm gonna launch a test and see what I get for time/fuel. Anyone else wants to take baton, go for it.

 

[srgalahad]

I had some recollection the leg to Petroplovosk-Kamchatsky is more than 750 NM?

Yes sir, it were, but that was then and this is now (time-dilation included) and since I can't fly I can be a pain in the.
'sides, it's a bunch of easy hops (??) over beautiful empty water in nice airplanes. Now if'n we wuz going to do a great-circle route back to Brazil we might have to relax the 750 a bit but... I do get ahead of myself...

Well gas is no issue, and with a 7kt headwind I show 1:55 to do it.

hehe I may try it! That's what practice is for!
