olderndirt Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Out of KPDX and, nine and a half hours later, EGLL. ETOPS really changed the game for both carriers and carried. The route takes them up through Canada and crosses Greenland just south of Sondrestrom. Down through northwest Scotland and into the melee that is Heathrow. Departure time - three in the afternoon. Arrival time - breakfast in London tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That would be one heck of a trip OND. I sure learn a lot at this forum not being a pilot and all, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the interesting anecdotes that old hands like OND come out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 OND, did you actually do this in the sim? If so I'm quite impressed sir, this is awesome! Very nice shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifejogger Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Excellent shots and very long fight. And as Jack said did you actually fly the whole thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodgerC Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Nice shots OND. I'd like to know also about your flight. Don't know of anyone who would sit at a desk and do a 9 hour flight. I've read on a couple of forums where guys will set up a flight like that, then go to bed, wake up and do the landing. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice shots. Wish I could but my screenshooting ends at the Canadian border. My daughter made the trip a couple of years ago - said the flight didn't seem that long and was impressed with Virgin Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
