Maybe we will cross paths, I am starting today from KHIO (Hillsboro Oregon) on a West to East around the world in the X Cub. I will be sweating it some over eastern Russia due the lack of airports.

What kind of range are getting? That is about 1300 miles! I am going out on the Aleutien islands, jumping off from PASY to Peteopavlovsk (UHPP) 568 NM and then to Iturup (UHSI) that is 628 miles and that will be the questionable leg. Maybe I can get high enough and glide in!
172 can fly almost 600 NM with both tanks full , depending on how much you carry with you. There are many many airports. I was worried a bit about going from eastern Russian crossing over to the Aleutian Islands into AK but I just looked and it’s 100% doable. UHPK, Russia- PAAT Casco Cove Cgs , Alaska is only 418 NM
The longest part of this whole trip I think is going to be going from Newfoundland over the Labrador Sea , Which I have already flown that part \o/
I will post a detailed flight plan that I took after this is over , atm I don’t have a full flight plan

Does look like going from BGGH in Greenland to Canada has a few options under 500 miles.
Eric , I will say mate if when you do decide to fly over Greenland , Get above 12k ft. Some scenery issues atm over a lot of Greenland But good news is that will get fixed at some point

Hy Guys,
i will start my trip soon. Some training flights with the C172 left, to figure out the Garmin GNS530 a little more
The plan is to take off at Berlin-Tegel, fly around the world and land at the new Berlin-Brandenburg-International Airport. The only rule is that i have to visit the capital city of every country i fly over to see as much of the world as possible.
