SCFX - SLCC

To this point the trip is 22372.2nm, using 9420.9 gallons of fuel.
Total flighttime in the DC-3 (averaging FL170) is 111:11.52'

The plan from here is to fly up South America, over the Southern states
of the US and back up to St. Johns, New Foundland, Canada.

The real challenge is flying a straight line over both poles, or flying the
full length of the equator.

Have fun!

Nice plan Marcel,
I'm sure you know, that you can't make the poles and the equator route
is boring because there is too much water. I'm not keen to count
fishes - even if there are flying g.
It's not too easy to plan a really interesting flight just staying
close to a great circle. The best chance to have as much land as
possible is starting somewhere in Europe towards Auckland.
