The Return Route

The group will split in South Africa.

The PC12 will fly eastward to California via a southern Pacific Route with stops in Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Tahiti, Easter Island and then Chili, Peru and Central America.

Stuart Auerbach and I will be flying the Mustang back to the US to be on time for the TBMOPA Convention in Coeur d'Alene.



The return is set from CapeTown on September 20th and the plan is to be in Coeur d'Alene on the evening of the 25.

Here is the map to my former hometown Lille


Here are the distance

at a 300kts cruise speed in a no wind condition it should take about 20 hours of flying time.

Then from Lille to Coeur d'Alene:

Total:4284 nm


This would be an additional 15 hours of flying in no winds
