Flight plan FAWB to FAUP
Hi there. In the upcomming Chapter of Stray Cats Hunt in Darkness (Chapter 23) there will be a flight From Wonderboom (FAWB) to Upington. (FAUP) Runway 17/35 at Upington is the longest runway in South Africa at 4900 metres or 16076 ft. It was constructed to allow a fully laden Boeing 747 to take off and fly directly to Europe. This without stopping for refueling at either Luanda or the Ivory Coast. So, On a flight from Johannesburg to Europe, they would stop at Upington, refuel, and fly non-stop to Europe.
There is an urban legend that Upington was selected by NASA as an emergency landing site for the Space Shuttle. This is not reflected in any NASA documents as the worldwide emergency landing sites for the Space Shuttle. Only AFB Hoedspruit was mentioned in the documentation. AFB Hoedspruit is better suited and an Air Force Base with better security and facilities to accommodate the Space Shuttle.
Here is a picture of the flight plan for the upcoming flight.
Bye 4 now.
