  • GREAT 48! Grand tour of US states. Week #37: North Dakota - GRAB YOUR JENNY!


    Celebrating the 'three-quarter point' of our journey by flying through the Peace Garden State in the Curtiss Jenny.



    Week 37: North Dakota
    KDIK>9ND3>20U>KGDV


    FLIGHT PLAN
    • Not GPS direct. We will follow the Interstate I-94.
    • We may change course on approach, according to surface wind.
    Download the PLN flight plan file here.
    Flight plan in tabular form, flight map and airport diagrams here.

    CRUISE
    Speed: 60 knots
    Altitude: 1000ft a.g.l max. VFR (using your judgment to avoid obstacles)

    AIRCRAFT
    Curtiss JN-4H Jenny only.
    You can download the Jenny from the Vintage Hanger of my OneDrive here.
    I will be flying the red "Flying Circus" livery to be easily visible as flight lead.

    RESTRICTIONS
    Curtiss Jenny only


    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 I can assure pilot security for the flight, at which point we'll include Steam in joint Classic/Steam flights, leaving no one behind!

    WEATHER
    We'll be flying calm fair weather to ensure we keep together.

    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.

    RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS
    You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here.
    This week the starting airport, KDIK, and the final destination, KGDV, are OrbX airports.:eagerness:

      Reminder: Bring your Curtiss Jenny to KDIK for our 9pm departure tonight.

      Trivia: What have these two pictures to do with our flight tonight? Answers and guesses during the flight itself please.
