'On the Beech' - around the world by vintage aeroplane and balloon

Follow the story of Bristol balloonists Phil and Allie Dunnington and their fixed wing team as they will attempt to balloon in places where nobody has ever flown a hot air balloon before! Will Phil - with his world record of 112 countries - bag in some more exotic places? Will 'Betty the Beech' manage the vast distances over Greenland and northern Canada? How will this mixed team work together in continuously changing and challenging situations?

Sunder Bay in Ontario to Kuujjuaq - Betty is back in Canada

Progress! The Beech is back in Canada!

In a long two sector flight passing US/Canadian immigration the team has entered northern Canada last night. They will be preparing to cross this vast country heading towards the north-eastern coastline at Kuujjuaq - if you can find it on your map!

From here the plan is to head across to Greenland.

You can follow Tim and Andrew's flight on the live tracking system when they are in the air:

Remember that there is at least a 5-6 hours time difference.

We are wishing Tim and Andrew and Betty all the best for their next very challenging sectors!
