Here are some shots from my around the world trip KMIA-PANC-VHHH-OMDB-EHAM-KATL-KMIA.
Departing KMIA

Here we are arriving at PANC 7 or 8 hours later (turning final)

Touchdown

At the gate

After a quick layover in PANC we set up for VHHH ( Hong Kong ) and we were off. 9 hours later we were soon flying over the old kai tak airport on our approach for VHHH.
Image
Image
Image

It took some time to adjust to the drastic change in time zones so that following night we departed VHHH for (the sand box) Dubai.

Arrival into OMDB

Ok by now we went from being in Yesterday to Today then back to Yesterday ( those time zones are a killer ) so the next day we suited up around late evening for EHAM
Image
Image

Arrival into EHAM
Image

After another quick rest it was time to head back to the US, and here we are arriving at KATL
Image
After about an hour on the ground it was on to KMIA, thus completing my around the world cargo run.

hope you enjoyed.......

Nice Screenies! :D

Did you use time acceleration, or did you do it all real time? How long did it take you?

I only used time acceleration for the EHAM-KATL leg. but it took me about 5 or 6 days

Just make sure you don't go over your FAR maximum hours alloted in the Pilot Manual or on the web site. You are 30:27 out of 32 hours for the last 7 days. Just a reminder. 8)

Ya, we did notice a couple in there with a boat load of hours. One pilot was 40 over alotted for monthly rate. This was even before we had to re-submit pireps for the web site change, so we know it was definitely over hours flights.
