it is kind of funny to look at the MP stuff, at times, and see several craft flying with too long callsigns... callsigns that have been chopped off so it looks like all of those craft are using the same callsign...

wow... 6 to 7 hours to fly 830nm? 830nm/6hr=138kts... if i did my math right, that's pretty slow for an airbus...
830nm/250kts=3.32hr
the above might be straight line distance... i just generated a flight plan at onlineflightplanner.org and it is showing 865nm... either way, the flight time is just over three hours...
