Well a while back Dave and I were discussing getting together for a beer or three, so I decided to fire up my Spit and head for New York, but that is a looooong way from Hungary and Spits aren't really long range fighters... nobody said it'd be easy Roll Eyes

No auto-pilot, no speeding things up, no using pause and no slewing!
So at LHPP (Pécs Pogany) at 06.12.36 and ready for the off...

Over Germany and worried about rumours of a madman with a cabbage based anti-Spitfire weapon Cheesy

Talk about landing on fumes, all tanks empty and the engine died just after I hit the tarmac at EBSP in Belgium. Landed at 09.14.37, so three hours 2 minutes and 1 second on the stick

More soon... right after I've been to Omags house and drunk all his beer 8)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Nice Mark.
I will be waiting for your arrival.
Mark & I are going to coordinate things so that when he is off the coast of Long Island, I am going to meet up with him and give him an escort home to my airfield.
The cooler is packed and I await your arrival Mark!
