Re: Remember the war

Not to mention we've been doing non-stop crossings of the Atlantic for decades now with and without Voyager, it's a lot quicker than landing and taking off several times on the journey and reduces the likelihood of something not working after you've turned the plane off.

There is a minor "reality" check here.

Range of 1000 miles without drop tanks or refuel.

So it either has to suck from the Private Financing Initiative Bastard or do one or more landings along the classic Lend-Lease route.
