Well certainly an extra 100 pounds of fuel would give you another 6 minutes or 12 miles but if I lost that weight (which, I agree I really should) then the A+ boys and the AW139 boys would be disappointed about the loss of my contribution to the C of G dilemma they would otherwise face. Anyway - driving a sim it becomes academic!
Maybe I was indulging in a little hyperbole but certainly an adverse wind will leave you struggling - try working it out with a thumping cross-wind both ways.
You will have to agree, though, 186 miles isn't 200!! They must have kicked some of the kit out or maybe they now have lightweight stuff that we didn't have back in 19 something or other.
Bet you guys are hoping to see some of the S92 action the chaps in Blighty will get ....... sometime........ sooon ...... I think.
England Croke in Dublin - Feel very humble after yesterday's thrashing - my regards to the boys and girls.
