Hey, I don't post many of my adventures due to the flaming so no one tell me 
I am crazy cuz I already know I am for accepting the flight...to the 
location!! Hears the deal Maine to Beirut, Lebanon or Riyadh, Saudi 
Arabia!!! Still not 100% sure on the exact destination but may be even 
Cyprus will be told enroute! Anyway it's a sweet ride 2006 Nav III 172 with 
an O&N 18 Gallon and a 100 Gallon Ferry Tank!!!! And Full Horton Stol Kit to 
boot!!!
Well See you all in a Bit with some fun stories and photos of this next 
adventure!!!
I will also be celebrating my 30th B-day on the 16th some place between here 
and there also!!!!
Ferrying airplanes has been super fun I am seeing the world and getting a 
rather large range of experiences! This will be my first time past Wick, 
Scotland! After this trip it looks like I will have just over 1,000 hours TT 
only 200 hours off my Goal not to bad I have come a long ways in the last 
year with the ferry busines!
PS:  and lets hope that that hurricane stays out of my way hahahahaha!!!!

well, i've always enjoyed your stuff. i take it at face value.
i hope you are keeping a real journal while you are doing all this.
never know if someone down the road might like to publish.
a houston man i've read about did a round-the-world in a cessna single
and i admire the heck out of him for doing it.
good luck

Yea, my main route just got blown due to the hurricane in the Atlantic, 
looks as if its going to track across my flight path! looks like Goose Bay 
to Keflavik, Iceland will be the way to go.  I really like St Johns to Santa 
Maria it's lot quicker! I do plan on taking a single all the way around the 
world one day just costs a lot of $$$$$$$ which I cannot afford and doubt 
that a customer will want to ferry one all the way around the world any time 
soon well maybe 3/4 around!!!!
Here is my proposed route! http://www.aircraftdelivery.net/trips/saudi.jpg 
will post photos on my site this time and yes I keep a journal of all my 
adventures.....................
