DAVIDSTRAKA Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Christchurch International (NZCH) Christchurch, New Zealand to McMurdo Station (NZPG) McMurdo, Antarctica. This destination was out of the Honda's range. The Air Force was nice enough to let me hitch a ride since they were headed south. The only problem, ATC in FSX only took us to about 30 miles out from the airport, cancelled the IFR flight plan and we had to make it on our own VFR to the strip :cool: PART 1 The Route: Please see PART 2 Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSTRAKA Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 PART 2 I was taxiing to the portable control tower when the plane "went through the ice" supposedly! I had no idea where I was then. So, this is the result.

Rupert Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Nice shots David!! And yes, as sweet as the HondaJet is, range can be an issue in some parts of the world. I have yet to see any evidence they're going to modify it with a refueling probe. :p Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
