Sunday - 27th December 2020 - Round The World Special

Post by ianfisher 101 »

This is not our regular A2A Misfit Sunday flight. This is in addition to that.

The time has come for another long haul adventure. Following on from last years London to Sydney flight, we are going a little further this time by flying around the world from London Heathrow once again in the Lockheed Constellation. It was a real world flight operated by BOAC. BA904 flew Eastbound with BA905 flying Westbound. The year is 1948. Pan American World Airways also operated what they claimed was a round the world flight at the same time, the famous Pan Am 1 and 2, but as they did not have US domestic rights they could not complete the circumnavigation as an Eastbound flight departing from New York had to finish in San Francisco.

As this is a one off special I intend to live stream the whole flight on Twitch. If you have nothing better to do over the holiday break then you are welcome to join the broadcast at any time. www.twitch.tv/ianfisher101
If you want to track my progress I will be on the Vatsim Network as flight BAW904. If you have a Vatsim Account you are of course also welcome to fly along with me as and when you choose.
If you want to voice chat then you are welcome to join me on my Discord voice server https://discord.gg/eMVwRthGmE

The flight is 18,899.8nm and will take 90.22 hours. We will be following the 1948 timetable as closely as possible stopping at all the same airports. I will be using only VOR and NDB Nav aids over land and Weatherships for the trans ocean crossings.
The flight will begin at 1000z on 27th December then continue everyday until it's complete. There may well be some interruptions if any work pops up in the meantime.

Here is the route.
