Flying the Antonov 225 from Edwards AFB to Point Mugu NAS in Microsoft Flight Simulator

A demonstration flight with the Antonov 225 from Edwards AFB over to Point Mugu NAS in Microsoft Flight Simulator - taking it from cold and dark to cold and dark. Along the way we look at navigation using course, GPS, and VOR, we look at auto-throttle, and then fly approach manually into Point Mugu. Great fun!

Spot the mistake on approach - I used VOR mode instead of Land mode on the HSI - which is why I didn't see the glideslope (doh!). Land mode is the top left button below the HSI.

Jonathan, I do hope you feel better soon. Sending you prayers for complete healing from the lingering cold issues. Wishing you the best 👌

Really enjoy your vids, I had no real interest in flying the Antonov until this series

[@mikecoffee100]

Hope there was Borsch and Sour Cream on this flight :)

Very nice and informative video, as usual, thank you.

[@jonbeckett]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrPeterhemm]

Thanks Jonathan! Saw several great air shows at Edwards and Mugu in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s. The highlight at Edwards was a B2 flyby, and at Mugu it was an SR-71!

Glad you enjoyed it

Oh... this should be GREAT!

[@jonbeckett]

It's awesome :)

I think I'll stick to Combat Flight Simulator. I've just about figured out the Sopwith Camel

[@stoicacezar6043]

Wonder how big this plane is compared to a 747 😮

[@markscars1069]

Wonder if there’s an option in the EFB for some of the switch labels, because my course knob on my installation actually says ‘course 1’ and ‘course 2’
Get better soon dude, cheers JB.

[@jonbeckett]

There is an option in the tablet, but it only affects a few labels here and there.

Im having problems with the transponder. Im always getting radio calls about it and when i try to change the Numbers om the transponder Nothing happens and the flight gets cancelled.

[@jonbeckett]

I haven't actually looked at it (writes down the next thing to look at!) :)

[@Steve19055]

@@jonbeckett thanks. It always start with a radio call from atc that the transponder is not turned on. I can see the Numbers on it and change it but it doesent seem to fix it🤔
