Vintage flying
« on: December 19, 2015, 06:47:18 pm »

Was thinking this one be in a vintage aircraft and we try and see who is the first to cross from the UK to America or from UK to somewhere in Europe maybe. Just to fly something vintage for a change like Callum could use a freeware 737-200 for example and try and beat us there in it or I could be flying say a phantom and chase Callum to try and beat him there but it has to be vintage and we could choose a type/era perhaps like prop/ww2 or just general flying from a uk airport in a vintage aircraft just to have fun flying it

I like to think I'm a good pilot, but I think I'd struggle to glide a Boeing 737-200 for 1198-ish miles, as according to Google it's 4242 Miles from UK to US, and the -200 has a range of 3044 miles according to this site - http://www.flugzeuginfo.net/acdata_php/acdata_7372_en.php

But, flying to somewhere closer I think this would be a good idea.  Or...I wouldn't mind trying the flight aboard Concorde :P  Though I've seen the startup checklist.  You'd probably be there walking before I've figured out to even turn the panel lights on.

That which does not kill me, has made a tactical error...
