Arrived at Aerodrome Amelia Earhart That spans 5 of Second Life's mainland continents: Jeogeot, Bellisseria (this is most of the flight distance), Satori (once also called maebaleia), Nautilus and Corsica. About to take off from Spurness The idea came to mind after I tested the B2B's fuel consumption and contemplated it might just make the 300 regions between Spurness and White Star. While nearing the destination, I realised I had 1/4 of the tank left, the grid w
