Here is the SkyVector route with all the VORs that we'll be flying over: https://skyvector.com/?ll=45.3312957414 ... ETY%20KMUO
Orders call for our aircraft to be loaded with a standard light fuel load and a 6,000 lb bomb load.
After we have attained our cruise altitude, we will practice emergency engine-out procedures, including shutting down and restarting one engine on each side of the aircraft (not necessarily both at the same time). Note that instrument vacuum is supplied by engine 2 or engine 3. The valve that controls which engine supplies vacuum is just ahead of the cabin heat control left of the pilot's seat. The vacuum gauge is near the bottom of the instrument panel, directly in front of the pilot.
Meet at: 1830z for a 1900z departure. ***Note: we are back to our daylight savings schedule***
Meet on: Digital Theme Park on JoinFS.
