Thank you. It said me the title doesn’t make sense with capital letters

Nice event - and I may join this, but there are a couple of issues. Firstly, a 747-200 should not be parked at a GA (General Aviation) spot, try moving this to another gate. Next, why would “convoy 2” have to cruise at 5000ft all the way to Sydney? That’ll take ages to complete. Finally, a 747-200 cannot land at YSBK (and there’s a typo, it’s not ISBK) as the longest runway there is roughly 4600ft long, which isn’t sufficient for that aircraft.

Thank you for your correction about the 747. I set FL 050 for cityhopper fleet because they will fly on the ocean and I tought it should be nicer.
Only the escort will land at YSBK, the 747-200 will go to Sydney.
Thank you again!

As I said, flying at 5000ft all the way will take forever - but it’s your choice.

It’s at 7 pm. In winter Zulu=GMT but in summer Zulu=GMT-1 because you enter in BST so in summer GMT=Zulu+1

Are you using a 737 or a E190?

So…are you coming?

Unfortunately, no…
