I do a circumnavigation now and then. Not non-stop, but...
KDTS -> KLAS -> KSFO -> PHTO -> NSTU -> NVVV -> YPDN -> WMKK -> VOMM -> OMAA -> HECA -> GMMN -> LPPD -> TXKF -> KDTS
That's Destin to Destin the hard way.

Years back on MPMap02 I would see Gerard Robin flying the B36 Peacekeeper of Helijah's for dozens of hours at over 450 FL @ about 350 kts. He really put some hours on that aircraft, nearly everyday.

I don't have any really long flights, at least after FG Members stopped doing group flights. I may have flown the Il-76MD of Robert's mod for about 4000 km across the Pacific.

Service ceiling by wiki is 12600 meters (43600 feet - source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_B-36_Peacemaker). Where Helijah made error ?

I think Helijah made no error - for once, a flight model that derives forces and moments from the (approximated) geometry of the aircraft will never be more than an approximation for at least some points / configurations in the flight envelope, and in addition even in reality an aircraft can climb further than its certified service ceiling, depending on its weight - but it will take pretty long ! :wink:

HEY! That's my route! Flown that one 25 times. Destin to Destin the hard way.

Bet you don't visit Rick's Cafe Americain when at GMMN. I watch Casablanca when there. I'm the flight Victor and Ilsa leave on.

Edit: How did you do at Port Vila NVVV? The FG localizer is wrong. Ir's about a 25 degree error.
