RTW 2010 Practice 1 Thread

[jkcook28]

Might I suggest to the team this; after Moses lands this leg there will be 3 left. Couple guys knock two out and we do a team flight online to UIBB to finish. Since everyone is likely tired of night flights, turn on daylight (and wx off if you prefer).
Maybe 0000/2400UTC (7p CDST for me). Could go later if need be.
Any takers?

UNOO wx is same Moses

Great idea John

Unfortunately, I'll be away at a Christmas party about then. Hope you get a gaggle airborne and maybe 'nice' weather will tempt some to leap onboard.

Baton is free at UNOO. Had to swing around to manage the crosswind. The twitchy Mustang didn't exactly help out.

[jkcook28]

Have baton UNOO-->UNNT. F8F

[Moses03]

Nice handoff JC.

[jkcook28]

Had to get one good one before race ends!

Let's see Rob take the controls after an eggnog...or several!

[PRB]

Have baton from USUU to UNOO in a garden variety P-51D.

Hmm, I'm not sure those have been approved. Got flight test data? :d

Let me get back to you on that.

Baton free @ UNNT

Thundersnow, cool

[PRB]

I have the baton, UNNT --> UNKL, Lockheed P-38L

[jkcook28]

Wingman(illegal if handoff, but what the hay) for Paul, Boeing 787!
Hows that for breaking rules?

[Dangerousdave26]

Wingman for John

I HATES Rules

UNNT --> UNKL, Corsair F4U-5NF

[PRB]

There's a 55 knot tail wind at 23000 feet. It changes to a 50 KT cross wind above 24000. ETE 0:39.

[PRB]

ETE 0:15. It's getting light towards the east, and the weather seems good. Last post before landing.

[PRB]

Baton free ar UNKL.

[Dangerousdave26]

Second wingman down safe

[jkcook28]

No duenna run, but got a screenie passing Paul.

[PRB]

Ok, shipmates, one leg left to complete this practice. UIBB is a large airport, with lots of lights and no terrain "issues", and would be a great "first time leg". Any takers? (*Smilo*) :d

I'll hang around, checking now and then to see if anyone wants to do it during the day and wants a wingman...

...round about 4 PM CST (00Z), if we're not done, would be a good time to assemble the armada for a group assault on the finish line.

Ooh, the Dreamliner, nice! I guess that's the CamSim version?

I guess the RTW rules won't allow supersonic flight, but you never know....

I don't have the baton (someone with a sensible aircraft can take it) but I'm heading from UNKL to UIBB in Concorde.
