Hi Guys,

MAC Airlines has purchased a brand new 737-700 from Boeing, has anyone done a delivery flight from Boeing field to akl before in one of these? i am thinking around the pacific maybe? would make it into a sort of story with screen shots en route, would be a several day -to week trip i guess

thanks for your help

KBFI - PHNL - NSTU - NZAA
You'll make each leg just fine, especially without passengers on board.
Enjoy the journey!

You won't want to leave from Boeing Field.
Believe it or not No Boeing aircraft have been made there, the heavies (767, 787, 777, 747) are made at Paine Field, and the lights (717, 727, 737, 757) are made at Renton Field both are in the Seattle Area, Renton is in Seattle, but Paine is in Everett (greater Seattle)

Although not simulation, I read that a Sky Europe 737-700 NG had broken a new record on its delivery flight, 10 hours and 27 minutes between Seattle and Bratislava. Details here if you are interested:-

smooth landings!

Actually the 717 was made in Long Beach, California ;) Though those days are long gone :(
