Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had a set date, for the maiden flight of the "Houston Express" run (Houston to Angola). According to AAWW's website; the service will start this month. But I was just wondering if there was a set date.

-Thanks :wink:

I don't know whether there is a correct one, as sometimes the ones on Vroute are a bit wierd, bexause people who can't get the route approved make huge distances between the waypoints when they can't find the correct jet route to follow.

When this route starts FlightAware will be able to display it for you. World Airways currently operates that route, and you can check out the route from there for an idea. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/WOA1000
