That time has come, the biggest obstacle in this global adventure, I’ve crossed countries, mountain ranges, continents and is all weather conditions, the Shrike has proven herself to be a capable and steady aircraft with a great range from a single fuel tank, howver with the majority of flights being over land these next weeks or months will be a new challenge for us, we’ll be packing more life saving equipment and we have miles of deep salty water ahead…. That’s right we’ve made it to The Pacific Ocean. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ocean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The largest and deepest body of the water on The Planet, extends from the Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean with the Australian, Asian and American continents on the parameter, not to mention some of the most volcanic regions found anywhere it’s a monster of epic proportions. ahead of us we have over 63 million square miles of water to cross with an average depth of over 4 kilometers, should we have a problem here we’re in a world of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we travel from Indonesia to North America we will be stopping at a few island paradises from Samoa to Midway and Hawaii, these flights will be long, challenging and with minimal ATC coverage, our aircraft will be fully prepared for extended over water journeys with multiple water air equipment. As you know we are unable to cruise at the level of modern aircraft and our altimeter is only calibrated to 20,000ft. We have been using supplementary oxygen for main of the flights and his is still the case but we will be flying at altitudes between 8 and 12,000ft which will also affect our range and we will have full fuel tank for each trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
