This week’s Throwback Thursday article is from the April 2014 edition of Australian Aviation, where Owen Zupp investigates what it takes to operate between Australia and Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas.

It’s just a number on a flightplan, but it’s a big one – 7,554. That’s how many nautical miles it is from Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas and for the metrically-minded, that’s a touch less than 14,000 kilometres.

    says:

    no one from outside of SYD wants to go anywhere near SYD. From BNE or MEL, it adds around 5 or 6 hours in each direction.

    That’s flight time to SYD, minimum connecting time & then add a few hours for congestion delays & too reduce stress.
