dominique Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thank you for the lovely headup, my friend ! If my memory serves me well, the Boultbee Academy uses both OrbX and A2A products. They are no strangers to the world of flight simulation ! Now the flight plan has amazing long legs https://www.iwc.com/en/company/partnerships/silver-spitfire.html . Be seated in a Spit' from Boston to LA for instance . Better not drink too much before takeoff ! I am surprised to see that they can do it that without refueling. Maybe they have fuel stopovers. The Chengdu Delhi should be epic (no pitstops in the Himalayas !) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
