Crossing the Atlantic

I've always dreamed of flying my own plane across the Atlantic to Europe. Making the journey involves a lot of preparation, knowledge, and skill, not to mention time and energy. It seemed like a worthy challenge and when I bought a plane I made sure whatever I purchased would be up to the task.

After 4 years of airplane ownership and several long trips out to California; over water to Honduras, Bahamas, and Puerto Rico; and up to Canada, I've decided I'm ready for the adventure and also at a time in my life perfect to move to Barcelona, a city I've always loved dearly.

I'll be traveling with my friend, adventure buddy, and copilot, Joe. Not only will he be great company but he'll also take on some of the planning and flying workload being a pilot himself.

The route takes us up to northern Canada, across the ocean to Greenland, to Iceland, down to Scotland, and then to mainland Europe. We plan to stop for a day or two in Iceland, a day or so in Scotland, a few days in Berlin, and then finally head to Barcelona.

Planned total distance 4988 nautical miles, planned total flying time approximately 28h 30m.
