    Apologies to salt_air - seems he finished the race some time ago and I've been leaving him out of the progress updates! And he's the fastest on the transport class too!

    So there might be a DC3 event coming up. I wonder if Mick & Salt_Air will be interested?


    Too right we will!

    Updated numbers. Will post final results with sime analysis as soon as teson1 brings the Spitfire home, as it doesn't looks as though there will be any more across the finish line before winter!

    Hi Paul,
    thanks for waiting for me.
    Rearguard's coming in late as usual.

    I hope to finish the trip today.

    Hi Paul,
    just a small comment - the calculated average flight speed is slightly skewed as crashed flights have 0 distance registered in the list. So the calculated averages are not fully comparable.

    (Says he who has crashed... )

    Thanks for your hard work tracking all flights!

    Somehow you got the York dropped into the bomber class. While it shared wing structure with the Lanc, it - like the B307 - had a totally new fuselage and was designed and certified as a transport. It served that way until after the beginning of the jet age. The Lancastrian was the bomber conversion.

    Yes, you are correct, but since the important "metric", time, is unaffected by this, I decided not to worry to much about it. Average speed over the course was just a curiosity anyway.

    Oops. It wasn't "somehow", it was "Paul assumed it was a bomber". Shows what I know! I'll fix that one too...

    very cool!!!
    congrats to all pilots.
    many thanks to Paul for setting this up
    and for an exemplary job with the statistics.
    this was fun stuff.
    i'm looking forward to the next one.

    as a side note;
    today, i finally got my 5.1 surround headset working
    and decided to take the old girl out for a sound check.
    HOLY CRAP!!!
    what a difference with bass vibration turned up.
    and the Boston is incredible as well,
    especially at lower RMPs.
    rumble, rumble, shake, shake.
    i sure hope i can keep this thing working.
    sometimes the magic works.
    sometimes it doesn't.

    At least you didn't get to Munda then realize you forgot three airports in New Guinea and have to fly all the way back there...
