Alaska and Hawaii are missing from both Storm's Great 48! and Razor's Flights around the United States in military fighters. We are joining forces for a Holiday Special to put that right, flying between the capitals of the 49th and 50th states in a single 2½ hour session.
Won't it be a very boring flight? No, this is a social event. After we get into the cruise, we'll be watching an in-flight movie together! Those of you who came on Lazerbolt's trans-Atlantic flight from South America to Africa - a 5 hour marathon - will remember this can work very well.

Juneau, Alaska to Honolulu, Hawaii PAJN>PHNL CRUISE 1,000+ kts ground speed I will be flying at between Mach 1.85 and 2.0 at between 45,000 and 50,000 ft. MINIMUM RANGE AND ENDURANCE REQUIRED 2,500 nmi, 2.5 hours + contingency. AIRCRAFT Any capable of traveling 2500 nmi in 2.5 hours non-stop + contingency.
THERE ARE NO DEFAULT AIRCRAFT SUITABLE! Please do not bring Boeing 747s etc. They are not fast enough! Please do not bring Learjets, F/A-18s etc. They are neither fast enough nor have the range. CLASSIC or STEAM? This will be a Classic FSX event and we'll use our traditional server. This will not be using the Steam edition of FSX, nor a Steam enabled server. WEATHER Real-world weather preferred and will determine active runways. Looking at clouds from 45,000 ft is more interesting than ocean! (See pic below.) FSrealWX lite is freeware available in our TeamSpeak file browser. Why not try it? Active Sky Next is payware, but currently on sale 20% off. I will be using Active Sky Next to give real world weather. SCENERY Default OK. No special scenery required. IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT Lazerbolt has researched a suitable in-flight movie for us all to watch together during cruise! |
