Iceland, post-Iceland, pre-Ireland, Ireland, Manchester, London,


Go no-go decision points.

I guess "pre-Ireland" means ...hope we make Ireland.

Probably should have eliminated this one and just gone with Ireland, since
once you're out of that big circle around Iceland the next go no-go decision
point is the Irish coast. Not too many places to land pre-Ireland g.

You need to check up on your North Atlantic geography. Once you are out of
that big circle around Iceland, the next point of decision is the Scottish
Coast. Ireland is only an issue if you are doing the none Greenland route
and then the first airport is Shannon but to allow the Russians to fly to
Cuba.

Anyone have a link to a (really good) Great Circle Route map maker? I dug
around in google but didn't much care for the maps I saw. One site is ok,
but not as good as a link I used to have - can't find that link anymore.
