That's FlightRadar24's flat earth rendition of the route. The article also includes their spherical earth illustration.

Anyway, are you planning this route for the Drifter, Frank?

Yes, you bet I am, Frank.  I'm filing down my toothbrush handle as we speak.  I hope you'll, at least, let me bring a sweater and maybe a thermos of coffee?   (Though I presume you'll be sticking with your FNQ formal:  stubbies, thongs and T-shirt. ;- )

 

Anyway, I'm already well into my training.

Are you getting really smooth air, there, Frank? I would've thought you'd be getting some pretty strong thermals off that country, and heading into the warmer part of the year, by now?

The video is very steady, it looks like a really good flight. There's some impressive mountainous country there, but I wouldn't like an engine failure in that neck of the woods!

Do you have enough glide distance to make it back to the coastal plain?

Yeah! I knew it!.......... I only fly within gliding distance of a suitable landing area! always have, always will! that`s why I`m still around to enjoy my flying and make videos! I can talk from experience.

 

What you don`t see in a lot of the footage, is all the farming land behind me that you could land a 747 on and I never point the aircraft where I can`t turn away, if the engine stops ...After all these years, I still practice dead stick landings, regularly! who else does?

 

onetrack, I`m using a GoPro, Hero 8 black, with a wide lens and hyper smooth, stability! needs to be extremely turbulent to show it, in the video.

 

 Flightrite! at least I got your attention! Cheers.👍

 

Franco.

“Flying some of our high country, this morning...We`ve only had a couple of weeks without rain and already the dust and smoke is in the air.”

There's a few spots I wouldn't mind casting a line. Like the video as well.
