Chuck my longest flight was a couple of months ago flying a Citation as Captain Florida to South Africa via Goose bay, Iceland direct, Prestwick (Scotland) Santander (Spain) Then down through Morocco, Algeria. across Nigeria to a little island on the Equator called Sao Tome and on down to South Africa.
I have flown over Sao Tome but never landed there. But by longest flight I meant non stop without landing. .
But then again mine was in a Jet not like you brave guys in singles
There is no way on earth you could tempt me to ferry a single engine airplane on over water routes.....period...because I'm a coward.
Diciest leg was to Sao Tome 400 miles off the Africa coast with not enough reserves to come back after the Nigerians refused to let us go high.
AAhhh Africa, you just gotta love it.
I would love to share some of my more interesting experiences flying in Africa but I can get enough flack here just making comments about flying generally.
