KSFO to SAEZ.Back in the day. KLAX to MMMX (1350nm) Leg 2

This is a virtual airline achievement created by FireFly Air.

If you're flying from San Francisco (KSFO) to Buenos Aires (SAEZ) in the 1950s, you’d likely be following historical air routes used by airlines like Pan Am or Braniff International. Since jet airliners were just emerging, most flights were on propeller-driven aircraft like the Douglas DC-6, Lockheed Constellation, or Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.

Possible 1950s Route for MSFS 2024 (Prop Aircraft)

Since long-haul aircraft at the time couldn't fly non-stop, the route would include multiple refueling stops. A realistic flight path could be:

San Francisco (KSFO) → Los Angeles (KLAX) A short hop down to LAX, a major hub at the time. Los Angeles (KLAX) → Mexico City (MMMX) One of the key stops for South American routes. Mexico City (MMMX) → Panama City (MPTO) Important refueling stop for long-range flights heading south. Panama City (MPTO) → Lima, Peru (SPIM) A natural refueling stop before crossing the Andes. Lima (SPIM) → Santiago, Chile (SCEL) A strategic stop before the final leg to Buenos Aires. Santiago (SCEL) → Buenos Aires (SAEZ) The last leg over the Andes, following historical air routes.

Criteria

Depart from KLAX, fly to and land at MMMX (1,351 NM).

You will be awarded XP 750 for completing this achievement.
