I have taken the 727 everywhere, well nearly. After spending some time getting used to the bird using Tamworth NSW as the training base I then did a re-run of the original TAA delivery flight from Seattle across the Pacific to OZ via many islands. I have done across OZ to NZ and back, OZ to Guam and then on to Japan and then spent about a month or so of simming time trying the old JAL 727 domestic schedule and ports. Mt Fuji looked great as does the Pacific. Currently I am seeing how the 727 200 with the flight dynamic/power mods goes up and down the east coast of OZ. I think i have done most ports serviced in OZ by TAA and Ansett when they operated the 727. Ah and yes a run into Timor from Darwin was interesting challenge given the short runway at Dili and the fuel and load limitations.

That cool. im doing something like this but from NZ to USA :) Problem is that im using random systems failure setting in FSX. And it allow to set max fail time to 600 minutes. So there is a huge chance to end long flight with some systems out :(  I dont know is there a way to set random time failure more then 6 hrs. I mean if i set it to 60 hrs, then chances to experience some inflight problems reduce, and that would be more fun to fly long flights, coz u will need to monitor systems, not knowing which one will fail. Now if fly 4-5 hrs, i almost know what to expect :(
