The entrance is easy to find John. The big blue bit on the left is the Atlantic, the thin blue bit on the right is the canal, now just find where they meet!!!!
But seiriously I'm glad to see you are back up there Wink

Enduro-Flight-Award coming your way! Grin

Way to go...

May I suggest you save your flight periodically during your marathon, just in case your pc should fall asleep before you do!

It would be a shame to lose it...

What do you do with your SPARE time ? (LOL.)

After Australia you better come and see me in New Zealand, turn left (port) at Sydney, then about 1200 miles, look out for the Mountains. Pack your lunch.

I certainly will. Interesting you mention NZ. The other day I was trying to work out if I could make that in the Baron. I haven't actually checked to see if there are any airstrips on any islands inbetween, but 1,200 miles is within range anyway.

Don't worry, you can 'island hop' from Australia to New Zealand. I've done it, in a baron Cheesy

LOL - the endurance topic came up a while back when I did Leg 8. Sadly, I'm not even in the running for the award. There were several people who had done much longer stints than mine!

The longest flight i've done is around 14 hours. YOu just flew to longest virtual flight i've ever hear of

Good Job Tipster...

Not to rush you or anything...but when are you going to post the pics?

I am eager to see (and read) how it went..

In Addition: How can you calculate how far the baron can go without refueling? (obviously wind and other factors play their part)

Thanks

There's a gauge on the new Baron panel that calculates the fuel flow, airspeed and shows how far and how much time you can fly before you run out of fuel

btw John, if your route up the west coast takes you in the area of Northern Idaho, drop by and have a drink Wink
