He's currently around 12 hrs into the flight and is South of the Azores at around 345 kts, something like 700 miles from the West coast of Africa. He's currently on a heading of 135 deg, which seems to indicate that he'll route over Morocco / Algeria / Tunisia, missing most of Europe. These Americans will do anything to avoid coming to UK!

Estimated time of flight is 80 hrs, which I reckon would be a pretty remarkable thing to have in your logbook.

Just realised that under FAA and CAA rules, this wouldn't count as a cross-country as he plans to land at the same airfield as his departure!!
