PC12 NG Down off California
Bit of a thread drift but are the actually flying the "bare" aircraft in for completion
Santa Barbara, California -> Hilo, Hawaii 2067nm
Hilo -> Apia, Samoa - 2241nm
Apia -> Sydney, Australia - 2335nm
If the range is a problem then due to the Jetstreams, (although by now they should be well south of Australia )
Hilo -> Cassidy PLCH - 1068nm
Cassidy -> Nadi, Fiji - 1902nm
Nadi -> Sydney - 1712nm
There used to be a really good routing website, but I can’t find it anymore.

Is it normal to cross that amount of open water with a single engine
The photo proves what a great outcome came from it AND how buoyant the aircraft is!
Seriously how many water landings are there with the aircraft still in perfect tact??!!

My two ferries one in 1983 in my B-25:
Stockton, Ca to HNL
HNL to Majuro, Marshall Is [over fly Johnson Is as emergency strip]
MJO to HIA [overfly Nauru as emergency strip]
HIA to BNE
In my A-26:
Santa Rosa, Ca to Hilo
Hilo to Pago Pago
Pago to NLK [due cyclone]
NLK to BNE
A great outcome! The pilots survived.
However, a brand new aircraft enroute to it’s new owners has ended up in the drink!
That is not a good outcome!
Ferry 101. What went wrong? With the aircraft at the bottom of the deep, we may never know!
