Request Help with Insurance & Handling Agents
We are trying to prepare a flight around the world to take place in June 2011 or 2012. Aircraft type is Twin Comanche (N-reg), pilots are both ATPs, one with 2,800TT (1,000 ME) and the other with 3,000 TT (200 ME). Both active instructors with plenty of recent IFR time. No accidents or incidents. Despite best efforts, have only gotten one quote for $20,000. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Same goes for favorite handling agents used.
Thanks, Zeke

Back in the late 50's, I met a man in Japan who was getting ready to take off on the last leg of his flight around the world in a Beech Bonanza. He was sponsored by a lubricant. He never made it to Midway and was never found.
Now...have you any idea what his name was? He called himself the "FLYING DUTCHMAN"

This is a very inspiring site. I am interested in sharing the trip/expenses of a the RTW flight or some parts of a RTW flight with another pilot. I am a 45 year old VFR pilot (900 hrs) with a Grumman AA5B. Thus will like to pair up with a pilot who has an IFR rating and a plane with a longer endurance. So far my longest trip has been Boston, Massachusetts to Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a physician based in Boston and fluent in English and Hindi.
Please contact me if interested

First whoever you are I appreciate your web site. Great reading for all aviation enthusiasts.

1. Looking to find another interested party to fly around the world. 53 ATP North Atlantic, Europe South, Central, and North American experience. single multi airplane, helicopter and glider CFI. Looking to share expenses on mutual trip of somekind does not have to fully cirle earth.
2. Live near Seattle, Washington. Would host overnight earthrounders.
3. Would exchange flight time in US Canada for flight time in other counties in your plane. Have Hughes 500 helicopter, Katana motorglider, and Citation 500.

Message received from Earthrounder John Coale :

" I have a credit of about $200 US at Hawker Pacific, Asia, on Seletar Field, Singapore. I would happily donate it to any Earthrounder planning a stop there. The refund process would cost a large portion of the amount."
