Leg 43 was from Leuchars AB, Scotland (EGQL) to Keflavik, Iceland (BIKF). It covered 805NM, and took me 2 hours and 35 minutes to complete. This, and the next leg need a "get away from seeing land free" card, since it's mostly water. But, we're in the last vestiges of Europe. Next leg, we're back in Canada!

We leave Leuchars AB, and St. Andrews behind.


Later, we leave Orkney behind. "orudge" used to live here.


The moon rises!


And later, when we get to Iceland, it's high in the night.,


We approach Keflavik through rain and fog.


But we land safely, and greet a familiar sight.

I need to quench the masses' *cough* thirst. So, for now, have a map!
Also, DuPage isn't on the map, yes. I just realized where it is. Sorry!

  Congrats RPharazon, what an achievement ! The red line mark roughly the progress of our 'FS2004.com - Around the World' tour

You've taken something like 8-10 legs, right? You're already halfway around the world?

You need to follow coastlines.

Holy crap! That's insane!

Ah well. It's easier for you guys because of the fact that even if one of you is busy, the other can continue.

Me? I have to deal with life more often than not. I'm a one-man band!

Leg 44 was from Keflavik, Iceland (BIKF) to Iqaluit, Canada (CYFB). It covered 1364NM and took me 3 hours and 55 minutes. I got welcomed into North America by a cosmic light show and a sun that never set. What a great homecoming!

But, as always, that's not easy. I still have to round about the entire North American continent to get home, and that's what we'll do!

Bye, Iceland and Europe!


Hello, Greenland.


Cosmic light show!


Leaving Greenland and its many... Fjords.


A few hundred miles later, and we're in Canada again!


Coming home to find the water taking over the land...


And it seems that someone by the name of Martin has welcomed me in his trademark plane!

Awesome! Another 4 or so legs and you'll be down my way!

[RPharazon]

Yay, update.

Yeah, real life sucks. I'm always so busy nowadays, plus my computer overheats a lot (Yes, even in winter.)

I've decided not to force myself to make any more, as the past few legs have just been chores.

So, hiatus time! Be back on the 8th (of January) , when I get back from Mexico! (I leave the 20th. In the meantime I have a math test to redo and electricity to learn.)

Sorry everyone!

Kay. Who likes maps? I do.

Yeah, got bored yesteday, created a rough revised world trip map on FSnavigator.

According to FSnavigator, the total NM count is 43000+. As of Leg 40, my documented NM count is 32688NM.

According to FSnavigator, the total time count is 121 hours. As of Leg 40, my tally is 103 hours and 38 minutes. (You will notice that that particular leg was at GMTT. FSnav shows that the total time tally by then would be 83 hours. We've spent 20 hours just doing the takeoff/departure and approach/landing dance!)

Northern Hemisphere before.


Northern Hemisphere after.


Southern Hemisphere before.


Southern Hemisphere after.


World before.
