1/ I'm bored and depressed about COVID today. Here is a memory of the before times, a ten week flying trip in a single engined aircraft from Colorado to NZ, via the North Atlantic, Europe, Russia, Japan, Philippines, Indo, Aus. Me and my 19 year old son, Tom, Aug-Oct 2019. 
2/ Coming in to Iqaluit on Baffin Island, Northern Canada, at dusk.
3/ On the ramp at Anoka, Minnesota, after a last minute engine tune up at the Bolduc engine shop, renowned worldwide. Our good friend, Joe, in the middle, came with us as far as Scotland so we could get insured (and also not kill ourselves).
4/ The whole trip can be viewed here on our Facebook page. Lots of pics.

5/ I am also writing an article series for Approach, an NZ aviation magazine. I have just submitted the 6th part, which takes us as far as Omsk in Central Siberia. They are quite amusingly written, I think anyway.
Part 1: Colorado to Iceland

10/ Part 6 is called "Splashdown on the Volga", but it hasn't been published yet so you'll have to wait a week or two. I will tweet it here when it is. I'll add photos to this thread from time to time and more articles when they are published.
CLEAR PROP! Daisy the dog in the pilot's seat. I think she looks quite the stylish little aviatrix, don't you?
