They're trying to accomplish the record flight over the next couple of days.

Check out that blazing groundspeed. I thought headwinds were brutal in my C.

I read there was someone who was trying to cross the pacific in a kayak. They should have a race!

Is it turning back? Heading appears to be generally west now.

Looks like he's 85% of the way there now. Been in the air for 3 days and 23 hours at this point.

Check the altitude chart. They seem to circle back over islands to gain altitude. Up to 30k' before moving on...

Best regards,
