I'm wandering if anyone knows of any good long flights for the 767. I'm looking for something that is 8+ hours so that I can get the 767 in the air let captain casper take over the cruise portion of the shift then wake up and lander. I know of the ATL to HNL flight anyone know of any others?

If you can't find a good 764 flight that's 8+ hours (like Matt said, use Find-A-Flight, it's great), try looking at some of the MD-11 historical flights and just fly them with the 764. I think there's at least one run out of Frankfurt that's 8+ hours.

There are two that I can think of....

KATL-LIMC (Malpensa) Milan, Italy

KATL- PANC Ancorage IAP (this is a summer seasonal flight)

I've traveled in both more times than I care to remember.

Most Europe destiniations from KATL, CVG, JFK or BOS are 8 hrs +/-. DAL uses the 767 for many routes to Europe.

Oh and the 767 that is used for international is the 767-300ER or the 767-3P6ER the 3P6 is the only 767-300 with 2 doors and Delta uses the 2nd door for loading and unloading passengers into the plane biggrin

Matt,
I agree with what everyone said, you should fly an international flight, they are a lot of fun! Read up on your NAT crossing procedures before you do, and make sure you have the most current track http://www.vatsim-uk.org/Oceanic/main.asp Just this weekend I have flown ATL-MAD, MAD-JFK, and EWR-MXP. I just can't seem to get enough atlantic crossings. I would reccomend ATL-MXP, if you go to avsim, this scenery is great for MXP isdproject_-_limc_2002.zip
