--- Quote from: apskip on October 27, 2011, 10:14:36 PM ---I want to mail the lid on the coffin for this. Here is the list of the 4 charter flights in the entire history of the U.S. Amazing Race:
AR1, Cape Aviation Business Centre, teams had to sign up for one of two charter flights to Walvis Bay, Namibia at 9:00 am and 12:00 pm Capetown to Walvis Bay 794 miles
AR2, Adelaide (National Jet Systems Terminal) to Coober Pedy (Coober Pedy Airport)
Adelaide to Cooper Pedy 435 miles
AR5, Nairobi (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport - Z. Boskovic Air Charters) to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Nairobi to Kilimanjaro 126 miles
AR6, Addis Ababa (Bole International Airport) to Lalibela (Lalibela Airport) Addis Ababa to Laibela 208 miles
Since AR6, no charter flights that I can locate.
In other words, these are all flights of well under 1000 miles.

uh...you sure?
AR18, Sydney to Broken Hill 600 miles

Regional Express is a scheduled airline, so AR18 teams were NOT on a charter flight. For example for the date Nov. 23, 2010 here was the schedule for SYD BHQ:
ZL 9578 Regional Express 06:05 07:55
ZL 9596 Regional Express 06:30 08:20
ZL 878 Regional Express 18:20 20:10

From the OFFICIAL CBS episode recap:
“The first six teams to sign up there would be on the first of two charter flights to Broken Hill, a small mining town 684 miles from Sydney.”

--- Quote from: apskip on February 26, 2011, 09:34:55 AM ---I want to examine the speculation by Dr. Rox that World Race Productions chartered 2 flights on Tuesaday 11/23/10 to get teams from Sydney to Broken Hill quickly, necessitated by the Indian Pacific train schedule back from Broken Hill to Sydney. Those flights are:
ZL9678 and ZL9596
The numbering system used by Regional Express has only 3-digit numbers for any flights from Sydney, including 2 daily to Broken Hill. If the ultimate destination is Adelaide then a 4-digit flight number beginning with a "4" to Adelaide from a connecting point can happen. If the ultimate destination is Melbourne then a 4-digit flight number beginning with a "3" to Melbourne from a connecting point can happen. There are some 4-digit flight numbers beginning with a "5" elsewhere in the Regional Express system, but no 4-digit flight numbers beginning with a "9". I conclude that Dr. Rox is correct. We should see soon enough.
