Wow...
I'm assuming it wouldn't go any higher?
or did the map time run out ? :D
Wonder how long a parachute jump from that altitude would take...

Ha ha. Struggled to get higher. Maybe with less fuel . There's a challenge for you Seas. [emoji106]

Ha!.. for "Sight Seeing IV - Astronomy" maybe... (thanks for the thought !!.. you are first officer for that !)
I'm still plotting Sight Seeing III - (this space intentionally left blank)
Oh yes !... it's coming back again in September !
With 'exploration' (OHHHHHH!!!) and 'derring doo'... (WHOOPIEEEEE) and... ending in 'tiffin by the sea'... (More tea Vicar?)
Vamps is helping me out on this one... (I hope !!)
will post it up propper when i have been away on holiday and come back !
Holy doodle Mindle
That's higher than RollingStoned used to be when he flew here...... :crazyeyes:
If you had a nice lady with you , you could have joined the rather exclusive 8.371212121212 mile high club! :devilish:

Thats good pronunciation right there...
The 109 just goes vertical... to the moon.
That's how they got out there to film "Iron Sky"

A side by side might be enlightening.

I guess you could run with the rad about 20% up at that altitude? maybe less...

I was being serious... (unlike my back of the envelope monitor)
5 Spits and 5 109s,
meet mid channel bewteen English Point and French Point... and just go up and up and up... see how each performs and how high they can really go.
all stay in the TS...
could be fun.

15% water

But there is no oil, radiator in the Spit !
Oh.. i also guess going up with zero ammo would help a bit...
keep us posted !
its an interesting thread this.

Yep my error. Thinking about 109 again.
15% water prop occasionally at 100% but oil temp rises and you need to drop back to 95% to keep it from blowing.
Still had my reserve fuel and full ammo

Food for thought !...
I wonder if not giving the pilot a parachute would save some weight too... It's available in the pilot options (oddly)... can't think why you would normally want to fly without one !

Negligible I reckon. Not significant weight saved.
I also had 8 cans of Stella on board.

Awesome, cant wait to see the party up there, Stella's on me :salute:
Might be lonely though, only girls in spitty dresses and no men in 109's though.
I can live with an all girl party though., hugs and kisses all round.

Weren't you looking for ideas for Sight Seeing III? Weren't we going to meet with 109s in France? Some could start in England with Spits and come over....
