Make it happen

In the last few years Lets not forget the new SR20 in the North Atlantic due to frozen engine breather, lost pilot, the A36 from the UK in California just shy of the destination at San Jose very experienced pilot but brown bread no less.
Ferrying is not a simple job and not for hour building or experience.
It is not an adventure or a paid holiday nor should it ever be treated as such.

Given the introduction of modern technologies some aspects of the flight have become simpler but the risk remains.
On the flight from the us mainland to Hawaii it is quite possible that an individual pilot of a ferry is the most remote individual on the planet.

There are no fast tracks to gaining experience. Do the hard yards like everyone else
