You can cross via the Northern Route with just about any production
airplane without ferry tanks. Longest distances are about 450NM each
between airports.


A little longer is the southern route. During WWII, the Allies built a
base in {then} British Guyana for bombers headed to North Africa. It's now
GEO, the international airport.
