The International E-road network is a numbering system for roads in Europe developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
The network is numbered from E1 up and its roads cross national borders. It also reaches Central Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan, since they are members of the UNECE.
European route E40 is the longest European route, more than 8,000 kilometres (4,971 miles) long, connecting Calais in France via Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, with Ridder in Kazakhstan near the border with Russia and China.
This bushtrip will roughly follow the route of European route E40.
The waypoints along the way are VOR stations, instead of following the route of the highway, allowing you to choose the weather to what to fly in.
One waypoint you will see custom scenery of the "Motherland Calls" statue in Volgograd created by the author.
Things you will see along the way:
Great Rivers: Meuse, Rhine, Oder, Vistula, Dnieper, Don, Volga, Ural, Amu Darya and Syr Darya
Endorheic Lakes: Caspian Sea and what is left of the Aral Sea
Mountain Ranges: Ardennes, Sudetes, Carpathian, Pamir, Tian Shan and Altai
Great Cities: Brussels, Cologne, Dresden, Krakow, Lviv, Kiev, Volgograd, Tashkent and Almaty
This is a long trip but it is still better then driving.
ENJOY THE TRIP!!!

Not sure why but didn't get a leg completion when I landed at Brussels . I did change to a Cessna CJ4 . I did land on the runway . Do you maybe have to park and set the brake or something like that ?

Sorry about that. I should have put in the description that you need to set the parking brake, and shut off the engines and batteries to get a leg completion.
