This has been my longest over water leg in the Stratocruiser. The planner showed the direct distance to be 4075nm. I took full fuel and medium passenger/freight load and was fortunate to encounter favorable winds. I had Johnston Atoll as my emergency divert airfield. There is a lot of ocean between Australia and Hawaii. I had 9% (4005 lbs) of fuel remaining and only 6 gallons of oil for engine 3 remaining when I landed.

Cool stuff! Your career stats make me jealous.
Are you using a special scenery for FSX? Your textures seem much sharper than mine and more detailed too.

You should make a video! Maybe not of a pacific crossing though.
I think it was a JaggyRoad quote: A video can say a thousand screenshots!
