My Next Adventure! Departing 09-11 Over The Pond Again!!

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!!!!

Bon Voyage!
Looking forward to your future postings.

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.....................

Interesting..

Never knew about the Faroe Islands.. Nice little mid-ocean stop.

Thanks for the picture of the path.

Quite an adventure, to say the least.

I note that BGR (Bangor) to BEY (Beirut) is 4557 nm via great circle route.
Your route totals 4642, which is only 85 nm farther. Hard to imagine any
practical route (for a light single) being a "lot quicker".

a customer will want to ferry one all the way around the world any time
soon well maybe 3/4 around!!!!

I kind of doubt that any customer would want a plane ferried more than 1/2
way around the world.

Who are you using for ground handling services?

Say Hi to Andrew that whacky Scotsman.
