Alrighty! Since There have been no objections in the other post for this I will now post some official times and rules!

The day is Saturday Nov 29
Start time will be 18:00 GMT+0 by the simv clock.
It would be best if you chose one of these planes, but you are not held to having to use them, just better off for all if you do.

All are available here.
1.SR-71(alpha freeware with Chicilo update)
http://www.simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=86&page=151

2.XB-70(with the update)
http://www.simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=86&page=106

3.X-15
http://www.simviation.com/fs2002military39.htm

4.Mig-31 Firefox(with the latest update)
http://www.simviation.com/simviation/index.php?type=item&ID=86&page=3

If you are going to use a different plane than those listed above please provide a link to it for those wishing to see the plane while online. Please no Payware. Keep it free and fun.

THE RULES!! Remember, these are to keep it fair and fun for everybody. Wink

1. Weather set to clear skies, no wind. No advantage and easier on frames for everyone.

2.No unlimited fuel, fuel stops are allowed.

3.No altering of time. I have done this run in all of these planes, so I know how long it takes and will be running a radar, and I will notice. Wink

4.No CFG editing please. I'll be mad if I get beat by a Mach 4 Cessna. Grin (fozzer supersonic Baron is an exception Wink )

5.Unmodded Freeware aircraft only. This keeps it even for eveyone.

6. HAVE FUN!!! There are no prizes, no girls to kiss you at the end, just the knowledge that you had fun sharing the experience with like minded individuals.(ok, and some bragging rights! Grin )

HOW THIS WILL WORK:

Take off:
Since this is a bit unrealistic,  we shall all leave at the same time, using runways, taxiways, the grass, what ever, when I say go, you start from a dead stop somewhere on the JFK property. From there on it's up to you what route you take to LAX and at what altitude.

Arrival:
You must perform a runway landing, taxi to a gate and come to a stop. It doesn't have to be pretty, but it has to be on a runway, no crash landings at the terminal. Grin
First one stopped at a gate is the winner. Smiley

OTHER INFO:
This trip can and should be completed in less than 1 hour.
I have chosen the time based on the fact that a1's tour starts at 20:00 and SeanTK's trip is right after. This start time allows for the entire trip to be completed and leaves at least a 45 minute -1 hour buffer time for a1's tour. This way I don't miss it and neither will you if you planned on doing those also.

That's about all, I hope to see as many people there that showed interest in this trip. Should be a blast! Grin

Nah... Roll Eyes...!

....even my Trusty Beech Baron 58 in Supersonic Mode, and all the flies scraped off the flight surfaces, will be no match for you Gung-Ho, Top Gun, Win-or-Die Chaps in your snazzy high speed machines....Wink...!

I'll just remember to keep out of your Flight Path with my little Cessna 150 Aerobat... Wink...!

I may pop down from 'Frisco to LA, to observe the arrivals terrifying KLAX Air Traffic Control...and getting their Pilot's Licences cancelled!... Shocked...!

...That'll be a laugh!... Smiley...!

LOL.... Grin...!

F...FS 2004...FS Navigator...and a pretty little C150... Kiss...!

That's funny, you could play the totally stressed out traffic controller who's had way too much coffee, and freaks out when a fly lands on the radar screen and covers up a plane on the read out! Grin

..I can certainly watch all you Blokes wandering aimlessly around the skies with the aid of my trusty FS Navigator real-time Radar display.

If anyone gets lost, (as they will... Roll Eyes...), I can guide them in the right direction..... (maybe/perhaps?... :evil...)... Grin...!

F....G-BPLF...and a Fly Swatter... Cool...!

I wonder how many will wind up in Mexico or Canada due to your fine directions. Grin

I had been considering using the Simviation International Airport as the starting point, It was created for this very sort of thing.
Here is a link for those interested:
This is the USA one: 3rd down

This is the European one: 7th down

18:00 GMT...  Sad

I'm at 18:00 GMT-5. Saturdays I work until 17:00 GMT-5. I'm afraid I can't make it to this one  Undecided

However, I still plan on attending Sean's trip later that night!

I had a peek at your selection of Aircraft, Shane...

...(very quickly)...

I can navigate my Super Bikes around the Highway at high speed, but being confronted with all the gauges, controls, etc, etc, in those complex Aircraft, leaves me dumbfounded...!

Altimeter, Airspeed indicator, and Compass are plenty complicated enough for me... Embarrassed... Grin...!

Interestingly enough...In my 10+ years of daily MS Flight Simming, I have never even had the slightest inclination to fly a Commercial Passenger Jet Aircraft, or a Modern Fighter/Bomber Aircraft in the Sim... Smiley...!
..so there you go..
For me, its C150's and Barons, bags of Mint Humbugs, (and Flex-wings), all the way... Smiley...!

F....G-BPLF...Low and Slow...(As the Actress said to the Bishop)... Kiss...!

Fozzer:   LOL! I don't know what half of those gauges do either! Grin
   But I do know where the throttle, GPS, and the autopilot are. Wink

I don't think you'll be at that one either, set your simv time zone to GMT+0. Wink a1's trip is at 3:00pm est. so mine will be at 1:00pm est.
I think all clocks should be set to GMT+0 for the multiplayer enthusiasts. That would make it so much easier to figure out when to be there for everyone regardless of time zone. Smiley

After browsing through the aircraft, I'll be using the X-15, but I'll have to add in some necessary gauges to it, such as a GPS, and a radio stack.  Wink

That kind of stuff is fine, I was mainly refering to any severe performance enhancing upgrades to the speed or fuel capacity. Wink
Although it would  be funny to see a mach 4 cessna wouldn't it? Grin
