As you are reading this tour update entry, my wife and I have hopefully (I wrote this obviously in advance) safely arrived in Antwerp Belgium and are enjoying ourselves visiting family and seeing a few sights in the area.  I believe this is my 7th or 8th time to visit Belgium and we always find…

Ladies, Gentlemen and Children of ALL AGES, the time is here….as you’re reading this edition of the WorldFlight 2018 GBS Tour blog update, we’re T-Minus ~ 24 hours from the start of our European vacation.  We will be departing Denver for London Heathrow on the British Airways daily flight.  Our flight leaves (if on time)…

Before I get going with this tour update, I just wanted to give a brief shout-out to my fellow virtual pilots from virtual United Airlines.  I recently joined this fine virtual airline and one of the members posted a friendly note in the forums about my blog site.  Thank you!  If you’re looking for a…

As we begin our flight for the 15th leg of our 46 leg journey, we’ll be achieving something we’ve yet to do in the over 13,000 miles we’ve traveled since leaving Sydney just over two months ago.  This leg will place us further north (in the northern hemisphere) than we’ve previously traveled and the next…

As the flight legs and miles tick on by, we continue to make good progress on our around the world adventure following the course the WorldFlight teams will be using this November.  If you’re just joining our little story with this posting, please make sure you start at the beginning to gain the full picture…

Of the twelve previous flight segments or legs, the longest flight has been just over 1,300 nm.  This leg from Capetown, South Africa up to Libreville, Gabon is the longest of the entire tour at 2,122 nm.  We’ll head from the southern tip of Africa all the way to the equator during this one flight…
