    Heute ging es los. Schon das erste Leg ist eine Herausforderung : fast fünf Stunden nordwestlich von Maputo nach Quelimane. Er ist damals nach Chinde geflogen, aber das gibt es leider nicht im FSX...

    Today is the day! The first leg is already a challenge, about 5h long, from Maputo to Quelimane. Armando flew to Chinde but unfortunately this doesn't exist in our simulator...

    • Mahlzeit !!! Ich kehr die Reste meiner Boeing zusammen ...

    Das wird mein Projekt für diesen Herbst:
    Mein Urgroßvater, Armando Torre do Valle, hat diesen Flug 1933 mit einer Hornet Moth durchgeführt. Die DeHavilland Hornet Moth mit 110PS hatte umgebaute Tanks mit einer Flugzeit von bis zu 9h. Reg : CR-AAC
    Da ich meine Familie in Portugal eingeladen habe, das hier mit zu verfolgen, gibt's das auch in english.

    This will be my project for this autumn. My grand grandfather Armando Torre do Valle did this flight in 1933 with his DeHavilland Hornet Moth. It had 110HP and he modified the tanks to be able to fly up 9h.

    Am 1.April 1933 ist er Richtung Lisboa losgeflogen und am 14.Mai 1933 in Lisboa Alverca (der einzige Flugplatz zu der Zeit) angekommen. 12 Tage Nettoflugzeit für 12500km !!!
    He left on April 1st and arrived in Lisbon on May 14th. 12 days pure flightime and a distance of 12500km!!!

    Hier die Strecke (the real route): Lourenço Marques e Chinde, Blantyre, Mpika, Mbaya, Dodoma, Nairobi, Juba, Malakal, Kartum, Wadi-Haifa, Cairo, Bengasi, Gabes, Fez, Tânger, Alverca

    Der Flieger steht heute im Museo do Ar auf der Air Base in Sintra in der Nähe von Lisboa.
    2010 hatte ich Gelegenheit, das Museum zu besuchen und den Flieger anzufassen!!! Echt Krass !
    Seit dem wächst diese Idee in mir.
    I was able to see and touch the real aircraft in 2010. It still is in the air museum in Sintra. Since then this idea started growing.
