Work in progress: Idea of he slalom is to test how tight a turn at greatest speed while retaining max fuel efficiency can the Darkstar achieve. The turns may look very forgiving but so far from experience - these turns will be very challenging I should think.
The course includes buzzing the Russians and North Korea for good measure. (See if you can catch a glimpse of the Russian Pacific Fleet at Vladivostok and the North Korean strategic submarine base at Sinpo).
Named for flying a slalom over the rather linear-shaped Japanese home islands.
Leave Kadena Air Base and return to Kadena Air Base.
Aggressive Glide Slope approach for Kadena from Stratosphere. Begin descent about 200NM out.
I’ll have to rework the slalom a little to account for the absolutely massive glide slope. here it is seen in context:
Notes: redrew the course to be more feasible. ~approximately 2.5hr flight time.
Notes: made one more change to the stratospheric injection leg which now runs between the Strait of Taiwan which would represent a “freedom of navigation” flight the US likes to do.
