Hi David, great idea. Visited the website and it looks great. If I'm right they left from Paris some days ago and are to land, as I type this message, in Dubai. Huge operation (in realty I mean). I already mentioned the possibility of a historic PP event in a forum topic some time ago and I guess this Breitling tour would serve this purpose just fine. Oke, it's a very long one, but that won't bother me at all.

I'll have a look at it tomorrow and see if it can be fit in a reasonable flight schedule that we can fly during an evening's duration. And of course with the permission of Euroharmony's managment.

Meet you on Mumble tomorrow evening,

Peter

As a Matter of fact, I alread started to collect ICAO codes to set out the event ;) Saw it coming by on facebook and started to follow the Breitling crew on their journey around the globe. Mega project indeed! And as far as a tour or event goes, indeed there needs to be a little re-shuffle to make it all out of legs flyable in a single evening. Some are just too long.
Somethng to discuss this evening on Mumble?

As a bonus for all you DC-3 lovers out there... check this out:

Wow, that must has been a hell of a job to put this one together.... and even more .... will be a hell of a job to complete this event: sixtyfour legs that will keep us busy for sixtyfour weeks.

Finally this old bird has a chance to prove herself

Yep, we're in for a real treat here  ;)

Some legs are terribly long, though. It's going to be tough to fly 600nm over water with no autopilot...
