As i posted above, check out the download for google earth, you can then see every possible choice available for airports, ndb's, vors etc, it is the best utility i've used this year.
I myself have been thinking which wa to go myself! Antartica, Easter island, or Alaska down back through the long way vis Japan, Indonesia...i suppose we are all limited by the craft we fly. I am glad i changed my 172 Skyhawk now. As i am am only using props maybe a Tupolev TU-95 is the answer for the great Pacific crossing!
Im not to sure which route im going to take yet. I have several possible routes which include the crossing the Atlantic and the pacific. I have to complete both of these legs as alot of GA aircraft are delivered via these routes.
Cant decide which aircraft though.

"What do you do once you get to Easter Island?" NTGJ in French Polynesia is only 1402nm and has a 6500 ft runway - thanks to Destination Finder - and yes, it's the nearest airport :S
Downloaded now. You Legend !!!
Soooo ...
NZAA - NCRG (Rarotonga) - 1627 nm
NCRG - NTGJ (Totegegie) - 1388 nm
NTJG - SCIP (Mataveri, Easter Island) - 1402 nm
SCIP - SCIR (Robinson Crusoe Island) - 1616 nm
SCIR - SBBU (Bauru,Brazil) - 1717 nm
and there you are in South America, and all of it well achievable in most twins.
Hmmmmm .......

How about bolting some floats on and dropping into the ocean every now and then when you've spotted a friendly looking ship that might pump a little fuel down to you on the surface. Of course you'd prolly wanna convert the aircraft to dielsel engines
Seriously tho, has anyone here done a TEAL type round the world in a Short Solent or-what-have-you flying-boat?Last edited by deeknow on Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:36 am, edited 1 time in total.Deans repaints: http://www.deeknow.com/

Or perhaps a big airliner. lots of leg room but cannot land on water. Could use a flying boat that but would involve a lot of work to locate waterway with heaps of fuel for the radials
