Update: It's been eleven years since we completed our tour of Australia in a Douglas DC-3. After moving to a new Flightsim program (MSFS2020) four years ago, we have finally come to terms with the intricacies of operating the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. With this aircraft we can travel the entire world, above the worst weather and at breathtaking speed. This video is gives an insight into how enjoyable it is to fly such a complex and capable aircraft. All the best from Captain Bill Smith and First Officer (W)alter-Ego.

Leg 62 (Part 2)
Saturday July 4th
Arriving Derby (YDBY)
This is not a tourist town so we don't plan to stay here for very long. My uncle Ray was based here in the 1950s when they flew DC-3s (C-47s) for Western Australia's "Air Beef" scheme.
