Ok everyone,

Thought I'd start a new post with "our" proposed stops for North, Central, South America's, the Carribean, and Australia.  My new buddy Ole will be picking up the rest of the world. My thinking is there can be plenty of additional site seeing stops that can be made between the "mandatory" cities.  It's up to the pilots.  Based on what was proposed there are 20'ish stops for North America, and 20'ish stops for Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Carribean. 

The one's with *(asterick's) by them could be some for our famous Squadron Leader to whip up some good messages....  Actually any of them would do as far as I'm concerned.

North America Part One: (Starting in Florida) and flying order:

Miami, New Orleans*, Atlanta, Wash DC*, Chicago, Toronto, Boston*, Montreal*, Halifax, St. John's

(Pickup the Europe, Africa, Middle East, Some Asia)  (Ole's part)

Australia:

Darwin*, Alice Springs, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart (Tasmania), Wellington N.Z.*, Sydney*, Brisbane, Cairns, and Port Moresby (Papa New Guinea)

(Pickup the far East Asia Stop up to Russia) (Ole's part)

North America Stops Part 2:

Nome, Anchorage*, Whitehorse, Edmonton, Vancouver*, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Franscisco*, Las Vegas*, and Los Angeles.

Central America Stops:

Chihuahua, Mazatlan, Mexico City*, Belize City, Mangua (Nicaragua), San Jose (Costa Rica), Panama City*, Bogata (Columbia), Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile), Buenos Aires* (Argentina), Sao Paolo (Brazil), and Caracas (Venzuela)

Carribean Stops* (ahh my favorite):  This one might take me awhile as I'm sucking huge Margarita's and Rum Daquiri's with my sore butt  planted in a beach chair, working on my suntan, and watching waves and bikini girls (not necessarily in that order) 

Trinidad & Tobago, St. Maarteen, Puerto Rico, Montego Bay, Havana, and Nassau.

Whew!  The journey will be over when we fly back into Miami. 

And then I'm thinking once all the destinations are decided upon, we can start another thread of the "guidelines" and "possible prizes" of our world wide tour.

Here I go again....

I found this site that might be helpful Ole:

http://www.indo.com/cgi-bin/dist

It's a distance program that shows mile and nautical miles

I´m on it. Expect delivery later tonight. The art of excluding is a very difficult one.

The same thing was going through my mind while I was trying to get the most bang for the buck.  We'll probably miss a lot of good stops, but not to say you can't make them stops on your personal voyage around the world.

Couple of points are a long way after setting it up.  May have to make 3 Amazon Jungle stops just to relieve myself

I just hope I don´t offend anybody by not setting down in their country! But then again, anybody can join in, and have their favorit airport in there.

I see that you left out Isla Margherita in the buttom of the Caribbean. Please make a stop there.

OK Europe ready.


Mandatory stops will be:

 

 

Next: Africa!

Oh - two small addons, until tomorrow.

1) I forgot that between Canada and Iceland there is a stop in Greenland. That stop is:

Country: City: Airport: ICAO:

Greenland Nuuk Nuuk BGGH


2) I realize that some of the legs in Africa and the middle East are fairly long. It is up to the pilot to measure the distance, and check the range of their airplane, and find additional airports for refueling !
