  • Sister City Flights - week 10 - Nantes (France) - Wine!



    Join Phileas Fogg, in any aircraft, for a brisk 155 kts flight through Loire Valley wine country.

    Nantes* became a sister city of Jacksonville in the early 1980s.

    * Pronunciation: In "Nantes" the "es" is silent. The "an" is a nasal vowel. I recommend Americans pronounce it either as "Nawnt", or similar to "Nought" but with an "n" added before the "t".

    Start 1st stop 2nd stop 3rd stop Last stop
    LFOZ LFOQ LFEN LFJR LFRS
    Orléans, Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel Blois, Le Breuil Tours, Sorigny Angers, Marce Nantes, Atlantique
    Flight plans: Look at the end of our Discord channel #group-flight-info

    Cruise: 155 knots indicated at 2,000 ft a.s.l.

    Aircraft: Any that can maintain 155 kts* and land/take-off in 1900 ft.
    Any fixed wing or fast rotorcraft is good.
    *Why 155 kts?! Because that's the cruise speed of a Sikorsky S-76.

    Scenery: Default is OK.
    ‣ LFJR (3rd stop) is the only ORBX airport is the area.
    ‣ LFOQ and LFRS are fully detailed 3D default XP11 airports.

    Server: SimLink AU server: 101.165.150.139

    Simulators: All welcome: FS9, FSX boxed, FSX Steam edition, Prepar3D, X-Plane.

    Simlink is FS9 compatible? I didn't know that. I'll have to try it.

      Reminder (and trivia questions!)! Join us in ANY aircraft that can maintain 155 kts and takeoff/land in 1900 ft. Depart LFOZ at 9pm eastern.

      Awfully hard™ trivia questions:
      1. How might Drew Brees possibly be associated with tonight's flight?
      2. Our second stop, Blois, is pronounced "blwa". Why might this be a magically easy place to escape from?
      3. There's an ORBX airport on our flight tonight. What world famous liqueur is produced nearby?
      4. And for UK pilots who remember the 1980s... What might Medomsley Road, Consett (a small town in northeast England), have to do with our flight tonight? (Pay attention!)

      Answers during the flight only please (not below!).

          That's probably Bob's server or router gone down again. The two flight plans are now available in #group-flight-info in Discord.

            The weather was fine at first. This is my Piper PA-46-310P Malibu arriving at LFOQ Blois, Le Breuil (in X-Plane 11).



            But by the time we parked up at LFRS Nantes Atlantique, the weather had closed in.
