Nobody flew it nonstop until 2018. In SkyChart the Bering 787-9 (14,140 km range) comes up 339 km short, so the single-leg version waits for a Skybus A350-900. #avgeek https://store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/SkyChart_Airline_Executive/13 Aug 2026 18:08 +0000at://did:plc:vyefwojdgw6ey2cnarj2psxo/app.bsky.feed.post/3msyafr7atc25https://bsky.app/profile/caseyjoneslabs.bsky.social/post/3msnuwrohes2hyoutu.be/mpXBN9kZw0Q - New Video Dev Log of Testing the game before potentially releasing an update or in this case not releasing an update to the game. https://youtu.be/mpXBN9kZw0Q09 Aug 2026 15:16 +0000at://did:plc:vyefwojdgw6ey2cnarj2psxo/app.bsky.feed.post/3msnuwrohes2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/caseyjoneslabs.bsky.social/post/3msdnyzak222cWill be hosting an Ask Me Anything on our Discord server: discord.gg/YMaNr4mzc2 @ 6 PM EST tonight (8/5/26).
