Well done Matt!

Congratulations Mark. Did you know that we have 203 B767 flights, which translates to about 12% of all our flights? How many of those haven't you flown? 202 as of this writing, meaning you have the whole B767 flight set ahead of you. Did you know the longest flight is almost 12 hours long? In fact the average B767 flight duration is 3.7 hours.

IMHO, the best payware B767 available is the Level-D, http://www.leveldsim.com/sevensix_home.asp. The 2d best is probably Captain Sim's, but I don't have it. http://www.captainsim.com/products/b767/. Keep in mind that SunAir Express uses the B767-300ER.

Anyway, those 202 flights amount to about 757 hours of flight. If you start today, and takeoff as soon as you land, you'll be done sometime in July 2011. Get going.
