Farewell to Betty and a summary of flight distance and hours
Anne and John Herbert kindly sent this screen shot of our
total tour over the last 4 weeks and Flippie calculated our flying hours including
the Trans-Atlantic:
Bristol - via Iceland and Greenland - Toronto = 32.2 hours = 4830 NMs
Toronto -Bahamas = 19 hours = 2850 NMs
Bahamas - via Cuba to Panama - Carson city, USA = 38 hours = 5700 NMs
Total flying time: 89.2 hours
Total distance covered: 13,380 hours
As you can
see, we have covered more the half around the world in the good old sturdy
Beech!
She has truly performed ever so well and hardly used any
oil.
It’s been sad to say good-bye to her.
Keys were handed over to Steve as he will look after her
during the next two months.
With a delicious home-cooked breakfast by Marilee and
Phyllis, we left for Reno to check into an airport hotel ready for an very
early 4am start tomorrow.
Once more thanks to our two great pilots John Herbert and
Flippie Vermeulen for flying us safely around those incredible countries and
places....
.... and to all you wonderful new friends and people that we met along the
route!
You have been so kind and wonderful and we hope to stay in
touch!
