Right. Twin Otter, of course, flying my hardware home cockpit. The route currently stands at 20,258 miles but will probably change in the small details. At or below 10,000 feet and no leg longer than about 650 miles. Well one, maybe, to get to Alaska. It seems there are very few places to get fuel in Eastern Russia

 

 

And I will be doing videos!

Very nice setup you have there!

Wow, amazing, love your video. And yes, you have a great setup! Godspeed and best wishes.

Hi Mark:

Thanks for your You tube video.

[MarkHurst 96]

I'm under way! Left Luton at about 10am (actually 6pm but I shifted the time) and I just crossed the coast of France on today's first leg to Munich. Not the most inspiring of pics, but this is Calais, my first 'foreign' country! You can just see the Strasbourg VOR dialled in ready on the Saitek NAV2 radio.

Leg 1 is in the bag! Welcome to Oberpfaffenhofen (Munich).

En route EDMO to LBSF in the first leg of today's flight. Having technical issues, not really with the aircraft but with a very flaky FSX setup, so currently on a partial panel mid-flight but with enough still working to continue. Hopefully will make it to Sofia then on to Istanbul and the south coast of Turkey before nightfall. Video in due course...

 

[MarkHurst 96]

Made it to Sofia!

 

 

[kalizzi 53]

I love your videos! Thank you ever so much.

[MarkHurst 96]

Antalya, Turkey. At last. A bit behind schedule due to an unexpected double engine failure and mandatory extra landing! I blame Aerosoft . Video soon...

 

[MarkHurst 96]

Still a bit behind, but we're just about done with Europe. Skip to 8 mins for the fun part 

 

 

[MarkHurst 96]

It's 250 miles to Port Said, it's dark and I'm wearing sunglasses  

 

Trying to make up lost time and hoping to hit the coast around daybreak. Wilson's flying the night shift...

 

We're bucking a few regs...

 

See you in the morning.

[MarkHurst 96]

KIBRIT!

 

 

[MarkHurst 96]

Oops, apparently I landed at a military airbase . KSA and gulf states next, not sure I can keep up with one video per flight...

 

 

[MarkHurst 96]

2500 miles of sand, and now KARACHI!
