Congratz !
2nd - AA6361 London (Heathrow)-EGLL 14:20 Stockholm (Arlanda)-ESSA 17:50 767 909mi
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.

Oh, yes, and since it's been a very long time since the last Sr Captain's inaugural round-the-world x times flight, I just want to remind you to post the screenshot proofs of where you've been on each leg - travelogue style. I would hate to see all those hours not credited because someone forgot to take and share the pics. :shock:

Angel - FSScreen is what I use. AFA resolutions, I post a lot of pics at 900x333. Seems the 333px height posts (on my browser and screen res at least) without the vertical scroll bar. Go over that and you get the scroll bar. Some pics; however, do not fit that wide format, then just use whatever works for you.
