Saturday night, I setup a flight of a US Navy blimp maritime patrol flight on the east coast. Using the blimp scenery by David Marshall (I think), taking off from South Weymouth NAS, South of Boston, and landing at Weeksville NAS, at Elizabeth City, S.C.
Following the coastline, 450 miles, taking off at 11pm, and real weather. Turned on the autopilot and went to bed. During the night fighting a headwind, at max cruise, I averaged 39kt GS!
Next morning, I landed 9.31 hrs later, with good weather, 6kt wind from the NW.
Btw, it was an uneventful night. I didn't see any U-boats.
This was something I wanted to do for a while, it just so happened that I had the time.
