good luck
 
I'm hoping Wallymart down here might have a copy of fs9 or even 2002 so I can at least do some spotting. The hotel WiFi is pretty good so I should be able to get online and TS... more as it happens.

Kinda hate being a bystander
 
Leg aborted - a crash over Black Continent (no lights and I accidentialy turned upside down while maintaining ascention - overstress again). Needsome more practice on night flights. This seafire is a tough bird though, not easy to manage.
 
Dang good idea to install an autopilot for those dark stormy nights! I once did a similar thing, in the Corsair, over Africa at night, had a rudder hard over and lost about 15,000 ft trying to recover from the spin but finally did and had to limp in holding full opposite rudder on the pedals! Turned out to be a trim runaway, have no idea why it happened! Whew!
 
The Dark Continent? Da! Looks like a bit less than an hour , supposedly the destination has lights.

Actual Location? Hong Kong....

Be thanksful(?) this is FS9/X A-Z airports has a differnt set of data on the real-world airport :kilroy:

Navigational Aids:VOR/DME, NDB, U/S Unservicesable
Runway 1: Heading 18/36, 2 200m (7 217ft), 15 T/1, Aircraft size max: IL76, B707, DC8, A300, No ILS, Lighting: Unserviceable
Additional Information: Due to the ongoing conflict in the area the airport is under military control. Once peace has been restored in the area the airport will be fully operational once again.

Can't see any significant obstructions in Google Earth Tom. No wx info available
