I am preparing for a trans-pacific flight from Christchurch NZ to Santiago Chile in FSX. The distance is over 8000km and I would prefer not to fly in a jetliner. What would you reccomend to fly? B-52? TU-95?

Tupolev all the way , rather the bomber TU95 , take a relaxing trip in the TU114 , sure the others on the South American West Coast would approve smile.gif

I'll second Ian's vote... not a lot slower than most passenger jets despite being a turboprop thumbup1.gif
And besides, there are some sweeeeet models of the Tu-95 and the 114 out there!
