Great stuff. You have bigger co**nes than I have, that's for sure. I wouldn't even do it in a twin

What a fantastic accomplishment.

Man, I'm so envious of your trip. I'd do the same in a heartbeat. If only I could find the time.

(But definitely not in a 37 year old single engine Cessna)

That has to be the best trip report I've ever read by a very considerable margin.

You are right, Kiruna is in Sweden. I was in Rovaneimi when I wrote that post. A walk in the park compared with your flight.

Where are you going next? The moon?

Very sincerest regards, David

Cool possible!

One of our group landed there yesterday evening, spent about 12 hours on the ice, and is right now flying back (due into LYR in about 4 hours).

There's a photoblog here (though still to be updated post departure yesterday!).

digits,

I've read through your blog - INCREDIBLE photos and what an achievement. Just be careful, you may have started a trend here!

Funny, where's SoCal App gone, he was here a minute ago...

digits,

I've just read your blog. What a fantastic trip.

Having flown in the north of Canada a few times, including Churchill and Resolute, I can appreciate what a staggering acheivement the trip was.

Day 31 on the way home, I cannot find the airport name in your blog. Was it Farmington, Missouri?

NORTH POLE TRIP

Hi!

I am going with my plane to the geographic north pole at the end of march, a russian company is building a temporary runway for me and other few planes.

I have a spare seat and looking for someone to share the experience (and the expenses too )

anyone interested?

Hi, I did some filming in Tromso and Longyearbyen of a Cessna that did this trip last year, so could maybe point you to a few contacts - check your PMs
