EGLL to YSSY

Hello,
today I did a flight from EGLL-YSSY (also named project sunrise)together with @Flying_Pencil and @Planespotterdca . Sadly both weren’t able to land but I decided to continue the flight alone. The flight was on the expert server and took me about 19:30h the departure was on the 26.11.19 21:00z and the landing was at the 27.11.19 at around 16:15z.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures I made on this beautiful flight!

Love the 4 picture but all of them is great👍

Thanks ,
no I don’t think so in the moment they are still testing the route and check if it’s profitable.

What flight level did you flew and how much fuel remaining?

I’ve started at FL330 then climbed above Dubai to FL370 via IF-A and above the beginning of Australia I climbed to FL410
I took every Gramm of fuel and I had 40 minutes remaining so something around 4,500kg left.

No, the non-stop was a one time only research flight (there has been a nonstop wit a B747 once about 30 years ago as well (I believe), but this isn’t a regular direct route.

The Qantas/BA flight LHR-SIN-SYD has been there for a while though.

No, and not anytime soon. Those were just test project sunrise flights by Qantas and they aren’t happy with the aircraft in stock currently.
