Lets wish this pilot some good luck on this trip whoever it may be.


Well, that link has a route to Hawaii from Hayward. It does say that
a 172 is going 2300+ miles.

I wonder where the fuel stops are going to be. Is it even possible
for a 172 to carry that much fuel?

With auxiliary tanks and a ferry flight permit from the FAA. This is a
long old trip and NW Pilot was quite right in turning it down as not
paying enough. I have never figured out how people manage to stay awake
long enough to make these flights.
