alank Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 The amazing internet... Today I was able to sit in front of my computer in Brisbane and hear Ryan Campbell being given finals clearance to 16R at Van Nuys, California after a 14 hour flight from Hilo, Hawaii. That's the Pacific Ocean crossed - good luck with the rest of your journey mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnG Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 didn't know about this. he has certainly taken a route across the pacific I might not have expected in a single engine GA. didn't know the cirrus had that sort of range. hope he succeeds!
