Alright, AAR thread is up!
I have one final recommendation for the flight and that is to respect all choices of routing as being valid for completion.
Yes, the official routing, by vote, is Brize Norton via Oshkosh. For some, this makes it a comparatively short flight. For others, it makes it quite a long one.
I’d recommend that, in the interest of not sending anyone packing just because we’re sending them halfway around the world and back, we encourage anyone who is willing to join us on any of the three routings in the OP (Direct, via Oshkosh, and via Moscow) to complete the flight.
It’s always nice to see a full crowd at the airport bar on these things. And, considering the destination, it’d be particularly nice this year.
Just a suggestion.
See you on the flight line.
