Ok, due to a long ambition of travelling the world, I have decided to do a trip around the world!

Heh, I love the kingair too but good luck getting it across the atlantic... I'd try to go from as north in canada as possible to greenland, and then from greenland too... well, good luck!  Always enjoy a good trip around the world, first one Ive heard of in a kingair tho!

Just hope the winds help a bit, and run it at max economy cruise/altitude and make sure you CG is set to the aft limit. I never noticed if FS took that into account, but aircraft will fly faster with an aft CG.

Maybe I should plan my own Around the World tour, and see if I can do it. Just gotta figure out what aircraft I wanna use.  ???

 Nice shots!  I am sure a Kingair can make it that way if a C172 can.  The route for the C172 is Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Some Islands between Iceland and Ireland but can't remember the name,  Ireland.  I watched a program on Discovery Wings about a guy who did that.  Me personally I would want a twin to cross the puddle.  Cheers!
