It's been a year and I've only made it as far as Karachi. Certainly not keeping with Amelia's timetable, am I? But life gets in the way sometimes (as well as VA requirements I belong to) and slows me down. The trip is still on, I like to think I stop and stay in spots for a while to earn v$ Trip Money to continue on...

 

I did go through the images that were "banned" when photobucket stopped third party hosting for free accounts and switched everything over to IMGUR, so you can see the screenshots again.

 

Enjoy.

Keep us updated Randy! I really enjoy reading these grand adventure stories.

 

I threw the original route into GCMAP https://goo.gl/2mXDsv, if anyone wants to see it.

Thanks Lindsey. By "original" you refer to the first attempt that ended in the crash in Honolulu (flying west bound was the original plan for her). They had to ship the Lockheed back to Oakland for repairs and then she started out again, flying east bound this time.

 

The rest is history.

Perks of the sim world...take your own time. At least you made it that far without the usual electronic [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance. You still have followers in us, that you can count on

 

Cheers!!
