CRUISE Speed: 260 knots Altitude: 3,000 ft AIRCRAFT Single engined aircraft capable of steady 260 kt cruise at 3,000 ft, with takeoff and landing rolls of no more that 3,500 ft. Examples of suitable aircraft: Storm's OneDrive: BD-5J, Sus Scrofa, Stingray. Default: P-51. Payware: Lanceair Legacy (RealAir Simulations). RESTRICTIONS No aircraft with more than one engine. WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM? We will be using Classic, not Steam. We will continue to use Classic in future weeks for the Great 48! until more critical add-ons are working, at which point we'll move to Steam. WEATHER Server specified default only, set to fair weather (because of forecast low cloud) SCENERY Default OK. Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware). FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware). Vector users please see recommendations here.

Weather update. I will be flying server default weather (set to fair), not real-time weather, due to forecast low cloud throughout the flight in real-time. I recommend NOT using Active Sky Next or FSrealWXLite for this particular flight.

I would estimate there were roughly equal numbers each of Mustangs, BD-5Js and Stingrays, plus two or three Legacies and a few other oddities.
