Guys: Well, I’m sure that you have all read Ernest K. Gann's Fate is the Hunter. One part of the book that really impressed me was Gann's early flights on Air Mail Route 21, abbreviated as AM21. More information can be found here: http://www.dc3airways.com/flights/routes/am21.htm. These flights are described in the first 60 pages or so of the book
We flew segments 1 through 3 on April 19th. I propose that next Sunday we fly our Bonanzas, or aircraft of similar performance, on the final three segments of Westbound AM21. Let’s complete the mission next Sunday, May 31st, 2020.
Here is the mission profile:
Meet at KROC: 1745 Zulu. Takeoff: 1815 Zulu
Sim time for meet: 1045 EDT. Sim time for takeoff: 1115 EDT
Aircraft : Fast GA, such as Bonanza, Comanche, MJ C-47, etc.
Weather : Real, set for “Live,” not “Historical,” to minimize confusion
Network : JoinFS
Server : Digital Themepark
Comms : A2A Discord MP Flying Chat 1

This route is over scenery that is neither boring nor dramatic, but the weather might provide us with some entertainment. Here is a screenshot of the route:
As you can see, we takeoff from Rochester (KROC) and head generally west to Buffalo (KBUF), where we do a touch and go. Next we head southwest to Erie (KERI), for another touch and go. Finally we head southwest to our destination, Cleveland (KCLE). The flight is 217 nautical miles, and should take about an hour and a half. Hey, you don't have to take the kids to any soccer matches, right?
So get out your old copy of Fate is the Hunter and read a couple chapters. Then let's fly next Sunday!
Here is some additional inspiration, and words of whizdom: http://inspire.eaa.org/2018/02/14/five- ... he-hunter/.
