I see David online already. Have a good flight mate! :D

I'll be trying to do the final leg this evening, after crashing yesterday evening, 4 hours into the flight. Still don't know why... ??? So I'll be flying this one offline as well.
One whole event offline for me, that is. I guess flying heavies long haul is not for me :P

Nice report, David!  :D

I did the last leg last evening, with a block time of 1 second less than 7 hours. Flew it online (...), so without time compression.
Strong headwinds meant relatively low groundspeed. Man that is a looooonngg flight. I am just not made for long haul! Hehe  ;D

                Hi Folks
                Congratulations on completion E-J; yes 7 hrs is a fair old trudge. ;)

               It was third time lucky with take-offs at EHAM yesterday morning. :( Firstly, after about 10 minutes of flying, David noticed i had
               selected the wrong flight on FLogger ; the day before I had booked a charter flight EHAM-EGLC, which had still to be done. :-[
               My second attempt was aborted on take-off due to the main instrument screen's blacking out; probably due to a involuntary Key-press.  
               Anyway I put it down to an age thing.  ;D
               Apart from that, a good time was had by all.

               David mentioned, TNCM_APP was on-line; a welcome sight as it was busy with inbound flights.

              As for the next leg D, tomorrow evening will do fine, 2/8 19:00z

This is my flight-plan for tonight: TNCM DDP A555 HARDE Y587 COZIE FLIPR KMIA (2h50' Estimated Elapsed Time)

And not sure if is possible to fly KMIA-KPAE at 1900 zulu, because is another long-haul as E.J. said (7 hours). Only possibilities for the last one are: 05.08 (start between 1400 - 1500 zulu) or 12.08 (start between 1100 - 1200 zulu)

Hope that works for the last one too ;)

With Andrei across the finish line, we have no more contestants that are eligible to complete the Event. All others have stranded at other legs than can be flown today.
Congrats to all 7 out of 14 participants that managed to fly all 12 legs within the designated time frame, and on PP!

Also, a big thank you for those pilots that got stuck somewhere down the line, mostly because of time restrictions. This event was characterised by longer legs, which (of course) are more difficult to plan in between every day real-life buzz. Especially so over the summer holiday season. I hope you enjoyed those legs you did get to fly.  :)

I hope you all enjoyed flying the Queen of the Skies.
Happy landings!
