Default NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight in a 172

This group's own NW_Pilot has asked if I would be interested in helping
him document his incredible ferry-flight from Bangor, Maine, to Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia. Talk about the trip of a lifetime!

See it he

And check back often. He'll be sending me regular updates.

Is he going to Beirut or Saudi? The map shows Saudi as the alternate. Has
Israel reopened the airspace into Lebanon?

If going to Saudi that flight over the desert might worry me more than the
over water stuff.

I don't know. We'll all have to stay tuned for his periodic updates...

It sure is an awesome flight. I can't imagine it.

Agree 100%. Trouble is, I think he's busy flying the danged plane...

I'm hopeful that he gets some time to elaborate...

Exactly! Combine Jay's flare and talent for writing with NWP's
adventure - what a read that would be!

I'm impressed. It wasn't too long ago that Steve was asking newbie
questions.

Augh! Don't even suggest it out loud...I'm so far behind, and there's
always so much to do... I don't have time to start transcribing, too...
