ids10 10 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 When I heard about this challenge I wanted to participate (altough maybe not possible to combain with school, but I'll see how far I will come). I will fly the trip in a single seat fighter starting with the Eurofighter Typhoon and I may switch to the Dassault Mirage 2000. The route will be as follows: EGLC-EBBL EBBL-LSMM LSMM-LIRS LIRS-LTAN LTAN-HEPS HEPS-OEJN OEJN-OMDB OMDB-OPKC OPKC-VABB VABB-VECC VECC-VYST VYST-VTBU VTBU-VVDN VVDN-VHSK VHSK-RCTP RCTP-RJFY RJFY-RJTT RJTT-RJCN RJCN-PAED PAED-CYQQ CYQQ-KSKA KSKA-KSFO KSFO-KLSV KLSV-KIAB KIAB-KBLV KBLV-KFFO KFFO-KJFK KJFK-CYQX CYQX-BIKF BIKF-EGLC The range of the eurofighter might be not enough for some of the legs, but I have a solution for that...
