Can you complete the challenge? Only time will tell…

Backstory

Back in 2021, I landed at XNA from LAX with only 15 minutes of fuel left, now the winds are against you, and you have passengers in the back. This route stretches the other limits of the range for the E175, and your passengers are counting on you!


We’ll see you on Christmas Eve!


Merry Christmas!

Youve still got time. Just find a day where you are really busy, then Do a flight from DFW-HKG and if you feel like you will miss your desnt just put 5 round trip legs to Taipei so your plane wont be too far away from HKG, then grind landings for 30 minutes in a C172 at KEDW. You can do it!
