Good evening all!

 

After having to drop out of the previous around the world attempt due to my exams - I should now have more time to complete the challenge of around the world in 80 days. The aircraft I will be using will be my trustworthy Cessna 177RG - N654BR. 

 

As for my route - I will begin at the small London airport of Fairoaks (EGTF), completing the section to Egypt in short sections with stops at:

Luxembourg - ELLX

Stuttgart - EDDS

Klagenfurt - LOWK

Split - LDSP

Dubrovnik - LDDU

Skopje - LWSK

Skiathos - LGSK

Mikonos - LGMK

Kos - LGKO

Kastelorizo - LGKJ

Paphos - LCPH

Here is a shot of the approach - nice weather for it too!

Unfortunately upon our post flight inspection in Luxembourg our C177 was found to have deflated tyre pressure in the left main tyre, and the maintenance shop on site have none in stock - so in the hurry to keep on the move my friend kindly lent me the use of his TB20 - SX-ATK, and the generous offer to ferry the repaired C177 to wherever we have reached by the time it is fixed (and provided no further issues are found!) Below are a few shots of the flight in the lovely TB20 to EDDS.

Ok another leg in the TB20, a chenge of routing as well, to LOWI - Innsbruck instead of Klagenfurt, now looking at a route down the west side of Greece rather than the East, which will be confirmed shortly!
