Think about how you are going to get to Wales in the first place
though, because quite frankly there isn't really much special
about flying from Wales to Siberia other than the administrative
hassle. You're going to experience a lot more "risk", as far as
terrain goes, getting to Nome than you will from Nome north and
then west.

That was really the point of my first post. The trip from Nome to
Russia, via Wales is really pretty low risk in comparison.


Another thing you'll need to plan very carefully is where you
can and cannot buy av gas.

Since my plan is to fly this trip with a jet fuel burning Deltahawk
diesel engine pulling an RV-7, I won't have to worry about av gas and
with a 700+ NM range I could go straight from Anchorage, but that would
require a lot longer water crossing that I would want to attempt when
there is no need to. From everything I have read burning jet fuel will
make a trip through Siberia much more practical. I don't want to just
fly there, turn around and come back, I hope to spend at least 2 weeks
all over Siberia.
