Re: Longest flight?
I had a go but I am already disqualified :( (Only 48,000lbs cargo). Never mind, it was a very interesting flight and it is not easy at all. I used a FP produced out of FSBuild (Northern Canada, Resolute, Greenland, Thule, Iceland etc.). Both fuel and time predictions were very accurate. The weather ...

Using Active Sky I had some strong jetstreams against me over Labrador, I managed to do it non stop but 2 engines flamed out while I was on final and...
