USA TOUR Event | SAT OCTOBER 24TH 17:00 - 21:30 UTC

[N3266G]

I had not made my mind yet.

There are not many options to choose from, but the few alternatives are very calling --
On my way to Guam (KABQ-PGUM), I once flew the A380 for the USA Tour -- awesome aircraft, that I will not include in my options.

Then, 4 Aircraft that I will be testing are

1) The Boeing 748i by Tikibar, and 2) The Boeing 748i VIP derivative by JWocky



3) Andino's Airbus A340-600HGW



Or 4) HerbyW's Antonov-225 Mrija



Keep tuned! I 'll report after testing

IH-COL

what hapened to option number 2?

[IAHM-COL]

nothing happened except that it is the choice I actually end up making

1. Tikibars' 747-8
2. JWocky's 747-8VIP
3. Andino's A346HGW
4. HerbyW's AN225-Dream

I ve chosen the second

[HOM001]

*takes one look at A346*

I will be bringing that A346.

It lands wonderfully. I was able to manually land that thing at rwy 11 KOAK in <1000m right down the center line.

[jwocky]

Really, HOM? I had her touch down about 4 inches left of the center line ... couldn't believe it myself, had to watch the recording three times

[LesterBoffo]

Can't help but mention that I'm getting sort of not into another 4~5 hour flight in huge aircraft.. Sorry, I may miss this one or fly something different.

[IAHM-COL]

certainly Lester you can find something that can keep up with the flight conditions to make us company

yet, can't help but mention that I don't want to remark about huge aircraft...

[LesterBoffo]

Well suffice to say the Hindenberg would have a distinct disadvantage against the big airliners

I know! I'll put six, 100,000 pound thrusters on the Hindenburg and fly the world's biggest dirigible on this leg of the USA tour at .0.85 mach!

[IAHM-COL]

[LesterBoffo]

Yeah, exactly. I hope my post was taken in the mirthfulness that it was intended. I'm not decided yet what I want to fly on this leg.

I'd kind of like to take the AN 22 Antei and do a longer, slower, less stratospheric, cross-country. Starting at KPHX couple hours ahead of you guys.

[jwocky]

Lester, that's the way I build all my planes, what's wrong with it?
