To all Legacy pilots and people in the know

Has anyone experience in flying the Legacy over the North Atlantic? Have you been using the OTS, e.g. for Dublin-Gander...? What about range etc.?

Dublin-Gander is about 2080NM Great Circle Distance, so no problem at all...

Looking forward to your comments.
Cheers

Hi galleypower

Done it in 2002 (on the Legacy), Washington-Keflavik-Moscow.

Flying wise no problem. Your back is going to hurt after such a long flight and it's always embarrassing to disturb the pax when you go to the toilet.

Other than that, it was ok.

Cheers,

Thanks for that. The Legacy is not the idea long-range aircraft, but hey, you were lucky that the passengers allowed you to use the rear toilet! :)
