T-6 Across the pond

Post by awash2002 »

I am planning on recreating the exact route that TAB and other DC-3's are taking to go across the Atlantic but I don't know how to go about planning my route so any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Looking at this on Google maps, two of the legs are 1500 and 2,000 miles. You're going to need some drop tanks or add some fuel stops!

I would search for Operation Bolero

In 2007, the P-38 Glacier Girl finally finished her Operation Bolero trip to England in what the restorers who dug her out from the ice in Greenland and restored her called Operation Bolero II
