For the 152 fans, here’s a bit of long distance inspiration - Canada to South Africa, with a incredibly gutsy hop from St. John’s to the Azores. 66 gal aux tank, 150 ft reel antenna for ARINC and 500 lbs over MTOW. Some amazing vignettes but the best part is the disbelief when distant fields ask him to repeat type aircraft.

How is a headwind helping to get somewhere?
Probably a typo.
Amazing story, thanks for sharing.
