Your judgment strikes me as that of someone who doesn’t do much flying in the kinds of circumstances that I fly. Your judgment of me strikes me as that of someone who has a narrow range of experience.
About 23 years and flights have ranged from 12 minutes to 8 hours. I don't doubt that I have different experience to yours though I'm not sure how length of flight is relevant.
Go ahead then, tell me how you spend most of your time flying single piston engined machines filled with ferry tanks and hand pumps across the Pacific.
P.S. 3m, but only with an updraft
mattyj, agreed on the Pan call. I think the key point really is that you tell someone something so you don't get vectored around the place until you run out of fuel.
