stu7708 244 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Section 1 in retrospect Leg 1: Joe got the challenge going taking Sharon on a low and slow flight from Southampton to Amsterdam in the Seabee Leg 2: The weather then proved to dismal for Kasper to take the DC-3 on to Hamburg. Instead he opted for the Viscount. Leg 3: With Sharon busy discovering what the Reeperbahn had to offer Micke then took a Cessna 210 further north to Malmö Leg 4: Sharon then caught up with Sam for the flight east over the Baltic sea to Lativa and Vilnius Leg 5: Kieran then took us on our first two-parter starting with a hop from Vilnius to Minsk in the YAK-42 and then on to Antonov field in the AN-124. Leg 6: Sean brought us on to Luhansk in a Mustang Leg 7: Andrew then took us on a trip down memory lane with his low level flight into Gumrak. The Junkers Ju 52 never went above 1.000 feet during the 400 nm long flight. Leg 8: Richard then brought the first section to a close with a flight to Atyrau in an AN-24.

stu7708 244 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Section 3 in retrospect Leg 22: Jess tried to take us into Unalaska in a MD-11, but diverted back across the Bering Sea to Yelizovo after realizing that her plane of choice wouldn't be able to land safely. Instead her 737-900 "Lenore" stepped in to make the flight. Leg 23: Kasper then battled the Alaskan weather and terrain in a DC-6 to get us as far as Cold Bay Leg 24: The bad weather then kept Micke company as he took the long way around following the coast up to Bethel in a Cessna CT210 Leg 25: Andrew then took us on a sightseeing trip around Alaska for his trip up to Unalakleet. The first part was flown in a Cessna C185 And the second part saw him and Ariel Tweto pilot a Dash 8 to the Tweto's base in Unalakleet Leg 26: George picked up the Baton in Unalakleet and used a total of 4 different aircrafts for his trip to Ancorage. First the trusty DC-3 Then a Hawker-Siddeley HS748 Followed by a DeHavilland Vampire and to finish his leg he did a short hop across Anchorage in a Sea King Leg 27: Kasper spent a few days searching for the Baton in the left engines of every Polar B747 at Anchorage before taking Sharon for an exciting trip in a Boeing C-97 to Ketchikan Leg 28: Rosario took his "Glamorous Gal" Mustang on a flight over the fjords in Alaska and western Canada for the flight into Prince George Leg 29: Sean found this wild cat of a F/A-18E for his flight to Hinton/Jasper Leg 30: Joe decided to pick something without a FMC, and flew the Baton in a Cessna C337 Skymaster the short trip to Edmonton. Leg 31: Marcellus did his first of two flights in a Blackburn Buccaneer taking us further east to Hector Leg 32: At Hector our old friend Remington rejoined the ATWC, and made a very professional flight in an Airbus A319 taking us as far as Prince County/Phillips Leg 33: Marcellus and his Buccaneer stepped up to the plate again, and despite some mechanical issues they finally made it all the way to Antrim County Airport Leg 34: Sean took us further east and back in to Canada in a C130 (don't worry Sean, we didn't see anything) Leg 35: Jess then finished up the section in style taking a 767 out to our final stop in North America. Halifax Shearwater was her destination. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Section 4 in retrospect Leg 36: Andrew picked the longest flight of the ATWC IV from Halifax to Keflavik, and decided to fly it in the Beechcraft Model V35 'Bonanza'. Only took him 15.5 hours to fly the leg Leg 37: Young George borrowed an IcelandAir B757 for his trip to Shannon Leg 38: Clement made his ATWC debut, and turned the shortest leg from Shannon to Cork in to a two-parter.
