Hmmm, going transatlantic in my C150?
Nah. Swimming is way faster.

Hmmm... With a 150, you could probably have *both*...

Actually, there have been 150s ferried to Europe... Probably taking
the northern routes where the overwater legs tend to be less than 500
miles... Personally, if I'm flying over long water legs, I would
prefer for the water to be a bit warmer so that in the even of a water
'landing', I have a chance to die from drowning before I die from
hypothermia...

Unfortunately, some of us don't have the finances for that.

You're probably safer taking the Northern route and wearing proper
equipment.

Professional ferry pilots take the northern route, wear exposure suites
which are required for single-engine aircraft, and have an auxilliary fuel
tank in the right seat.

A survival suit is just a body bag with a hole for your face.

Can we get back to that suit with the auxilliary tank in the suit's
right hip pocket? Doesn't that make it hard to swim? Or does the
relief tube go to a different tank in the left hip pocket and balance
it all out?
