Not that far, but pretty good going in Bell 206 single pilot and all done in daylight over 2 days! Pre GPS as well with a wet compass only!
I think the only options fitted to the aircraft were a cargo hook, high gear, VHF and HF.
YBCS got a little concerned that our TXPDR wasn't working. Went through all the rigmarole of recycling and blah blah, by then we were on the ground. They told us to get it fixed before departing. It didn't work the next day when we left either and by the time we gave up going through the recycle etc blah blah we had left the control zone with the instruction to get it fixed.
I suppose you would have to fit one first to fix it!
