Wow
Clearly Gobbie knows a little inside info not yet in the public domain. (ok I suppose it is now!)
Is this really the case? Would someone be able to complete it, obviously allowing for the weather implications?
Like I said earlier, just delay until you can fly through Greenland/Canada. Just do the trip!
Is anyone else on the team rated to fly the a/c or indeed the replacement if one is actually required?
If not, I'm sure there must be someone in the wings keeping the fat lady company!
As sure as eggs is eggs, if Barry did go round the world the buzz word would be TEAMWORK. (then again, maybe not after what g's post says!)
If it's a teamwork thing then it doesn't have to be Barry that flies it all the way....does it?
As gobbie says, "One day I hope a Gyro gets around the world... As for who does it...................."
But for the Pride of the Countrys sake;
Let them not be A m e r i c a n !
