That's amazing! A lot of water to be flying over with only one engine.

this is something I've actually always wanted to do sometime. I'd prefer to do it in a twin though.

Here is a website with everyone who does Round the World Flights. Some of them have links that have "diaries" of their flights. http://www.earthrounders.com/ |

It would have been the most amazing experience. I wonder how much the trip costed him all up? I assuming he owned the aircraft, I guess one wouldn't want to be paying an hourly rate if hiring one Tristan |

This link at the bottom of the site called "The Next Trip." Looks like he bought a P210 and upgraded the panel. http://www.n30ew.com/P210R.htm
