:welcome:Started flying the Kangaroo Route, starts at London EGLL Heathrow and ends up in Sydney. Our first leg, Heathrow EGLL to Frankfurt/Main EDDF in PAA DC-7B, and using all retro airports, AI prop airliners all are from Calclassic. Here are a few snaps of the flight. DC-3 landing at EGLL. Newly polished DC-7B over the Channel. On approach to EDDF. A Martin 404 on take off at EDDF while we hold. Still holding as a Connie lands. Fun flight hearing all the ATC chatter with the old airliners.

Next leg Frankfurt to Rome.

A couple of years ago we did the London to Melbourne race... was fun!

:welcome:To PAA Flight #901. Got a nice break from the weather on the flight from Frankfurt to Rome. The passengers could really get some nice pictures of the Alps as we over flew them. Pictures: first, preparing to leave the ramp at Frankfurt. Second, it seems we spend more time holding than flying. Third and fourth, DC-7 over the Alps. And the last one parked at Rome.

The next leg is around 1181 miles from Rome to Beirut, but thinking about making two legs out of this one and land at Athens.
