TTN706: KARA - RPLC in an ATR. That ought to be a fun one. About 30 hours flying time?

Can I bring my laptop with me?

Only if you are Sully since apparently he's the only pilot who is capable of such a thing.

Well....there is an awful lot of water between the U.S. and the Phillipines......

Ted, what route are you going to take, I've got the same delivery flight and I haven't started to figure out my routing yet.

Go via Kai Tak - let it be an unforgettable experience I'm flying KARA -EGNX btw

I'm not flying that route. I was just observing a 7500nm route in an ATR.

Without having any maps in front of me, I'd plan on 7 - 10 legs (avg leg being 750nm). Anchorage is the shortest GC route, but because of fuel stops, you'll have to work something out via Russia and China before crossing the South China Sea for the P.I.

What did I get myself into?

I'm disappointed in you Ted. I would have expected you to have a couple of carriers lined up in the Pacific.

I could have done that, but we'd have to send the ATR's back to KAMA for the tail-hook retrofit.

Sorry guys, I would have placed them in the PI, but I had more than one request that I post them. It's all good, if you guys don't want to try it, don't feel like you "have" to.
