South America Tour

[DestinedWind530]

Just sharing a low & slow circumnavigation I am doing of South America in the KingAir 350i. So far, 35 Flights, 8500+ miles, and lots of temperature and wind changes. All is going well with the plane. Most flights are 200-400 miles on average. Attached are the google earth image, and a spreadsheet of all stops along the way. Cheers & Happy flying. Hope to see you along the way…
