LAST EPISODE WILL BE THE FINAL FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA, AND NOT QUIET GETTING HOME. PLUS AN SUMMARY OF EACH COUNTRY, THE PLUS'S AND MINUS'S OF EACH. AND FOR THOSE PUNDITS WHO KEEP SAYING WHY DIDNT YOU CROSS THE PACIFIC -THE ANSWER
The answer is?
The Pacific would be my preferred choice from a logistical/political point of view. Pretty well all aircraft that have arrived from the US into NZ that didn't arrive in a container have come across the Pacific. I would imagine it's the same for OZ.
Going your way is certainly more interesting..... In more ways than one.
