The trip has been postponed until this summer. I will post the story and deets once it happens. I do hope to get more discussion on the topic since our aircraft are very much X Atlantic birds. "Bump" is a term used in online forums and message boards that refers to the act of posting a message in an older, inactive thread in order to 'bump' it back to the top of the list of active threads. The purpose of bumping is to draw attention to the thread in the hopes of eliciting a response or generating new discussion.

The purpose of “F off” is to draw attention to the spammer in the hopes of they will stop their “bullshit”. Do better.

Ah yes, the classic ‘someone posted something I don’t like, so I must now have a public meltdown’ approach. A bold choice. Listen, my dude, I bumped the thread because I’m planning a literal transatlantic flight, not because I’m trying to sell you vitamins or get you to join my pyramid scheme. But I totally get it, critical thinking is hard. That said, thanks to the renewed attention, I actually got a super helpful PM connecting me with a pilot who’s done some truly insane long-range flights, including Germany to Tasmania. Found here: https://youtu.be/OG5oSboLq2I?feature=shared So, you know… actual valuable discussion is happening here. But hey, you do you. If getting angry at forum posts is your thing, I hear the YouTube comment section is hiring. Anyway, thanks for your contribution to the discussion. It’s been super helpful.

I have some great videos if someone knows the best way for me to upload those. My approach to Nuuk, Greenland, will be the most memorable of my life. Flying with a high broken cloud layer, the sun shining through, flying over a low cloud layer, and a fog bank over the entire runway except for the threshold. Amazing and beautiful. I will be heading to EGPO tomorrow.
