What does RTW stand for? Sounds like a big accomplishment though!

RTW = 'Round The World

It certainly can be, especially if you use smaller aircrafts Wink

5 RTWs and your name on here is Flies2little? Tongue

Sounds crazy, but it's true Grin

Will changes his name between Smoke2Much, Work2Much, Sleep2Much. Someone else changed their name to xxx2much, so I thought i'd change mine from Andrew to Flies2little Wink

Wow that was fast! How long did it take? A real SR-71 takes about 6 hours for a 'RTW' Grin

In FS2002, I once flew an SR-71 over 6,900 miles, and it took a little over 4 hours

I flew real time, and I did have limited fuel. It was over a year ago, but I do remember running out of fuel and making an emergency landing Wink

I've only had to make an emergency landing once. It was about a year ago when I still played FS2002 and it was in a southeast Asian country on a flight from Signapore to Kathmandu. I can't believe I remember it, but it was a really nice emergency landing I re-fueled and took off 8)

I was once flying around the Alaskan Wilderness and my engine quit on me. I managed to find a small lake and land on the beach. After landing I discovered that the tank selector on the panel wasn't marked clearly. I had no problems after switching it to another tank Grin

Yea, i dont know how you guys do it. I am currently planing on trying to fly KALB down to long island (bahamas not New York) in a Lancair Legacy. I figure about 6 hours total in 2 legs. I have been trying to make the flight for the last 2 school vacations, havent found the time. You think you would if you can get going at 240 something knots ground speed, with a small head wind at 8,000'. Not bad for a little two seat prop.
