1st Official Atlantic Crossings of a F/A-18

Hi guys ! I’m sure all of you are goofing around with the new F-18. Me…I personal like flying long distances with ANY fighter aircraft.

It was a simple Monday morning, I just got back home at 5 AM. I open the Play Store just to check…and what do I see !? Update I was absolutely flabbergasted, I pressed Update and to my surprise. F/A-18 Super Hornet. I knew what I must do.

We must cross the Atlantic

Some of you may say, How ? It only has 1:30 minutes of fuel. WRONG, if you fly it like a Commercial Airliner, it has capabilities to fly for 7 hour, and 30 minutes. Thats a lot.

Anyway, sorry for so many words.

Enjoy ! ! !

We start in White Plains, why ? Well because why not.

Takeoff ! I am absolutely in love with the F-18’s Landing Gear Suspension. It is truly a work of art.

Gear up, and we are off. Damnit forgot my Bacon, Egg, and Cheese inside the FBO fridge :(
Thats not the ocky way :(

While we sit at cruise. I look to my left and I see a British Airways 777. I am very tempted to intercept and remind them of 1776 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.

Luckily this Ethiopian 777, isn’t on fire and left abandoned at a active Chinese airport.

Entering Final Approch, on a very high angle. But thats fine because its a “Tactical Approach” Props if you can find the C-130…

I know, I know I had to slam it on the runway, But Butters better !

And there we are. Done with the first official F/A-18 Atlantic Crossing, on Expert. Very honored to hold such a Unofficial Title.

Proof :

Thank you ! I hope, you all have a great day !

Cyaaaaaaa ! ! !

Do you think I could make it from KLNC to Hawaii on one fuel tank without refueling

Oh hell yeah, anywhere in the west coast, to Hawaii is totally possible. Just fly economically. I climbed at 3000 FPM, then at 10k I switched to 2500 FPM, and I lowered it to 2000 FPM till final cruise at 350.
