Hi All, this was fun one, think I can improve for sure, Managed a run at 4400' at TAS 167 kts, and will try again I have my route, maybe can increase speed by 2 knots and cut some corners, wasted some time after take-off.

Can also reduce ALT a bit.

Yes, Bota was fun, can remember through grand canyon dipping the wing tip in the water to make the turns and maintaining the lowest altitude.

My time 1:18 where is everyone else at?
Noticed I made a Typo on the speed in the PIREP. :D

I am going to give this a try later today and probably livestream it from my YouTube channel. I'll drop a link later. Just finished configuring a brand new PC for simming, need to put it through its paces.

Took a little longer than I thought but here's the video below. I had a great time flying this. I will admit I did bust the 170 TAS threshold and admittingly disqualified myself from this leg, but hey.... It's all about learning and adapting. I'll probably fly it again and see if I can get a better time. And since I have a YouTube channel, SUBSCRIBE!

Hey Michael, very nice video! Subscribed!

Pretty barren land out that way but gets more interesting as the mountains approach! Yes Battle of the Airlines - good old days! :D

Oh and thank you for the AirSource plugs on the livestream!! :wink:
