Talking From Cape Columbia to Cape Horn

Across the Americas in a C182

Dear All,

David Hempleman-Adams will try to cross the Americas, from Cape Columbia (Northern tip of Canada) to Cape Horn, in a Cessna 182. Yes! A single-engine piston!
Knowing that some of the challenges they will face (David will be flying with Canadian co-pilot Lorne White) are the crossing of the Bay of Hudson, the 570 NM over the ocean between the Dominican Rep and Caracas, the Amazon, the extreme weather and the odds.

You can get a taste of it on www.canadianspotlight.com or http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/...ire/3768757.stm
