Well there are some strong westerly winds in western Europe right now, so let's see whether we can find them. Not sure about the range in this Cessna 414A, so we'll head towards Bucharest but probably stop short in Austria.
Also still not sure who my fellow team pilots are... but I'll find some, somewhere.
Let's go
EGUN to LRBS, or perhaps shorter.

Stuart - this is the aircraft:

It has a good panel, but needs a fuel status gauge. Here's the code to insert into the panel.cfg:
Please go ahead and fly it Monday evening. Can we get Roger to join the team?Code:Window08=Fuel Status //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window08] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=200,64 window_size_ratio=1 position=1 visible=0 ident=48 gauge00=RKG_fuelstat!FuelStatusSq_turbine_wide, 0,0,200

The range is 950 to 1000nm on a full tank, so at least 100nm short of getting me to Bucharest. Bratislava (LZIB) was right on the course line towards Baghdad, so that is where I've parked it. Keys are in the flying club hut, behind the bar.
I found some strong winds, but mostly from the side rather than behind. I also had a headwind at times, so not the fastest flight. Anyway, we're off!

What else to do when at home poorly ... TV is not for me ... something constructive IS ...
I want to take advantage of the tail wind to make up for the head wind that cost me some 20 or more minutes on the handicap before my hard work turns to
