On Monday, after work I will be flying this flight as part of my project to put my 747 hours on vataware firmly ahead of my MD11 hours, and to go somewhere I havn't been on vatsim before on a flight that takes place in the real world in the aircraft of choice. As it happens I have chosen Reunion Island, an 11 hour flight that will see us fly over Corsica, Southern Italy, Lybia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the Indian Ocean just north of Madigascar, as shown:

 

Distance is 5143nm and actual plan is as follows:

 

LATRA UM133 OBEPA UM728 NERAR UP3 BINKO UM620 BONAR M620 BNA R2 ATMUL UR611 TIKAT UG300 MA UM665 ANKOR UA665 UVDUK UB459 IXEBU UR780 UVENA

Airlines that fly this route in real life are Air France and Corsairfly, both in 747-400 aircraft.

 

 

I will be flying the Air France as AFR680

Currently flying the flight again as Vataware lost it

 

Glad I did though, got this lovely little encounter below.

(also filmed my takeoff this time, will put it up on Youtube once I'v converted it into the right format/landed/etc

 

Till then, AFR680 zipping just 1000ft under this crossing A330. From the cockpit window no less.

How's that for luck.

 

2 crossings in less than 20 minutes!

 

 

Here goes TVS343 in his 737-800 over the top at FL380, some 5000ft above.
