Hi Robert,

Just something I noticed and if I don't find the answer it'll bug the hell out of me!

The above flight in a single engine piston Cessna took 2hrs and 51mins at 88 KIAS and the same trip in the Globemaster took the same timeat nearly 4 times the speed ??? Might be a cut and paste mistake, or one hell of a tail wind!

Cheers

Mark

Thanks for the HU :o I guess ya'll can tell I use NotePad quite a bit. ::)

NP mate, they'll make a cut n paste error on my grave stone when I go I'm sure!

BTW, the flgiht time on the Globemaster post. at 358NM and at 325 KIAS would your flight time be more like 1hr 30min (a guessimate there) than 2hrs 51mins? It's probably right and my head is screwed (too made things floating about in there atm) but the Tilt Roter did it in 2hrs 15mins at 144 KIAS.

God, this sounds like I'm stalking you or something! Deep apologies! :-[

Cheers

EDIT:
Please take it as a compliment. I'm reading and enjoying you PIREPS and not just hitting the 'mark as read' button :-X

No...This is the info/results FS9 gave me.

NP mate, I'm not the PIREP police or anything :'( I just saw the Tilt Rotor travelling @ 144 KIAS make the 358 NM in 2hrs 15mins and when I saw the Globemaster doing it @ 325 KIAS in 2hrs 51mins I just thought it was another Notepad error.

Apologies again!

Take care

Mark
