Off and running...Heathrow to Corfu in the Learjet!  About 2 1/2 hrs flight time with the scenic approach you would expect.  Spending a few days in Greece before moving on to Suez.  The passengers were anxious, but well behaved.  Time to hit the beaches!

After a few days in Greece, and the hang-over there after, we made it to Suez on schedule!  After cruising at FL370, and step climbing to FL390, took a nice steady ILS approach in HECA for a flight time of just over 2hrs.  Now its time to board 'alternate transportation' and head to Suez!

About 1,300NM from Cairo to Dubai, but this bad boy got us there in about 3 hours.  Lots of sand...not much else till the picturesque approach.  I'll hang here a few days, see what's up with P3D V4.1, go from there.

After nothing but sand going to Dubai, there was nothing but water to a foggy (no pun intended) night landing at Bombay....the journey continues...

Still foggy on the ground in India, but nice at FL410!  Safely into Calcutta...

Very nice leaving India, but back in the soup landing at Hanoi!  Will hang here for a day or 2, then off to Hong Kong...

Nice to land at an airport with clear weather for a change!  Love this VHHX scenery in Hong Kong!  Onward and upward...

Awesome view leaving Hong Kong and a crystal clear approach into Pudong this evening.  Will make our way to Shanghai after an overnight here.  The Learjet, P3D, scenery et. al. have been flawless to this point!

Caught a 110+ kt tailwind across the East China Sea and Sea of Japan that really pushed things along!  Enjoying Yokohama till we start the hop across the Pacific next week...

Favorable winds, again, helped push us across the Pacific. A real mix of beautiful and sketchy weather, before a gusty, localizer assisted, approach into Cold Bay.  Will turn right and head south soon!

Well, the longest leg of my flight plan is in the books.  Fuel was low (red light on the panel!), but managed to land at a rather stormy Vancouver in good time.  From here it's on to San Francisco....

Now in San Francisco!  Uneventful, short (relatively speaking) flight from Vancouver but great scenery along the way!  I feel like the end is in sight.....

From a calm, scenic sunrise in San Francisco to a cold, windy, & snowy afternoon in Minneapolis!  On to New York....

As I tend to fly in the morning, I get to see these great sunrises on many legs of this venture!  For something different, I flew the JAMCA VOR approach to runway 31L at Kennedy.  Pretty cool...one more ocean to cross....

Began the final leg across the Atlantic....cold and snowy day in Gander, Newfoundland as we fuel the plane to cross the pond.  Good day for an ILS....

Still snowy in Canada, but nice clear visual night landing into Iceland.  One leg to go!

...and so it ends....all is well.  I do love the Flysimware Learjet, but I think it can go into the hanger for a while!  It's been fun....
