Round the world flight (southern route) in the P Baron
-
Finished a round the world flight in the P Baron - took the southern route east to west. It's a LOOOOONG way across the southern pacific!!! Perfect plane for that trip - it can go up high and sip fuel for the long overwater flights and can fly low with reasonable fuel burn for the low VFR legs.
Warning - some of the long overwater legs required careful planning with winds aloft. I landed with 7 gallons left in the tanks once :O. Western South America is a great region to fly the P Baron - lots of high altitude airports. I'll be dreaming of flying into south pacific islands for a long time!!
Here's my full route if anyone would like to try out parts of it. The legs that you see just direct from source to destination were legs that I chose to fly VFR (when there was favorable weather and what there was to see):
