'Circumnavigate the Globe'

Postby AS455 - Don » 01 Oct 2014 21:57

Tomorrow, 10/2/14, @ 1400 ZULU, Craig Hobson and I will depart EGNJ (Humberside, England) to LFMD (Nice, France) in two General Aviation Division Pilatus PC-12s aircraft. We will embark on a 35 segment mission that will 'Circumnavigate the Globe'!
You can join in on the trip or watch the progress as we will post our journey in this Forum and AirSource FaceBook!
Take Care!

After a 3 hour flight we have both landed at Nice in South of France and a very successful first leg of many very enjoyable.
All ready for the next leg to Malta.

Hey Craig,

Glad you enjoyed the site/video.

I appreciate your offer to let me join you guys, but I'm afraid I won't be able to due to other things taking up my time. Could you PM or post your flight route, maybe I can join you guys just not live :)

You'll have to post a few screenshots of the flights along the way so that we could share in your adventure.

Thanks,

-Dave

Don / Craig - I just had an idea for the future and when you all file your flights, put this CODE into EVERY one of your flight PIREP comments:

*COMMUNITYAS455CTHEGLOBE2014*

Doesn't matter where in the comments (can put at the end).

For anyone else doing the flights (Craig, etc.) put the same exact code (even the AS455 part).
