163 flights have TPA as its destination; the selection is plenty. From a 30 minute flight to one over 10 hours.Marty_Becker wrote:So, where will those taking part in the flyin to Tampa be flying from???
I'm planning to fly in flight 101, STL-TPA, B767. I think I know you will be flying from BRU.

Good point. Though I couldn't find a route on Flight Aware, using FSBuild and today's NATs, I came up with this one:Marty_Becker wrote:Your good Dave! I am searching Flight Aware for routings.
DENUT UL610 LAM CPT UL9 SHA UN542 BABAN UP618 RESNO TRAKG DOTTY N111B TOPPS J581 PUT J42 GVE J75 TAY.LZARD4
with a distance of 4150
I'm not sure of the segment covered by N111B as this seems to be west-east. Unless the winds go wild, it is going to be a 10+ hour flight. I see flight 141 with B767 service at 10.1 hours.
