Hi pilots! Time to hop in that Herky-bird for another adventure Back in Time!
One of the Viking "Sun Stones" that we transported last week turned out to be an actual "Infinity Stone"! Thursday night we will haul this extremely powerful artifact to a lab in France for secure storage and further study.
During this long flight from Iceland to France we will watch the incredible film: Avengers: Infinity War.
Thursdays flightplan is as follows:
Hornafjordur Iceland Departure (BIHN)
Paris-Plage, France (LFAT)
This flight will take place using JoinFS!
As always with these Around the World flights the preferred aircraft is the timeless Captain sim C130 Hercules, but feel free to use any cargo prop that can maintain 250 KIAS at around 25,000 ft. Please do Not bring a jetliner to this event because they stick out like a sore thumb and are a distraction.

Not sure what to fly?
For those who don't have or don't want to fly the C-130, this should help you decide.
- An-12 Most similar to C-130. Most extras (airbrake, autothrottle, paradrop). Russian annotations. Most difficult to fly.
- An-32 Most frame-rate friendly. Best cockpit model. Easy to fly except long spool time. Needs refueling on long flights.
- Howard 500 Easy for piston engine pilots. Best climber. Tail-dragger. Performance tails off at altitude. Poorest frame rates.
- C-119 Boxcar Easiest to fly.
- Re-engined (French) variant: Faster. Normal climb rates.
- Normal engine variants: Slower. Half the climb rate so gets left behind on short-medium length flights.
Happy landings,
