Trent Hopkinson Posted June 27, 2009 at 12:15 AM Posted June 27, 2009 at 12:15 AM 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 Trent Hopkinson YMML. www.youtube.com/musicalaviator WorldFlight 2002,2008,2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Hopkinson Posted June 30, 2009 at 01:20 PM Author Posted June 30, 2009 at 01:20 PM 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.
