R44 Ferry from California to Norway by
Charles Talleyrand
I saw a helicopter today painted in Norwegian (It had text). I asked
the pilots about it and they said that they are ferrying an R44 from
California to Norway. They claim it will take about 40-ish hours.
They have a ferry tank in the back. The whole flight is VFR.
Sheesh!
