Why?



Because. Mangareva below

Flying a single engine plane over five continents to the place where you just are is difficult to understand.

- Around the world is the ultimate destination
- Solo around the world is ultimate flying

Burning tons of avgas is immature and I did it for no higher reasons. It might have helped to save or cure the planet or somebody. It was excellent for global economy. It would have been so nice to fly for charity (orphans, diseases, or both). Almost as nice as selling the plane and donating the money.
