    No return Tenger, off for 10 days :):):)

    NYC airport to Ireland.

    Yeah Bearcat B741 was slowish!
    B727 Max was .92 fuel guzzler.

    Typical crossing on 757 is .79 due company fuel saving but can do .82 and 767 .81 but can and regularily do .84.

    Got a pic somewhere of us doing .852 must go look for it

    How do you find out the record for ewr to bfs i did that in exactly 5 hours one time, but i don't think thats a record somehow.. the fastest westbound i did was 6 hours my dad did that in 5 and half hours in February a couple of years ago.
