PREPARE FOR LAUNCH!!!

Our aircraft is getting geared up for the big trip from Kansas (USA) to Gabon.  Here it is in the hangar in Weaver Aero, north of Wichita, KS.

In this photo, you can see the yellow straps holding down the fuel tanks that have been added for the big trip across the "pond".  The trajectory will be Kansas to Bangor, Maine (USA), to St. Johns, Newfoundland (CANADA), to Azores Islands (PORTUGAL), to the Grand Canary Islands (SPAIN), to Ouagadougou (BURKINA FASO), to Libreville (GABON)!


While the aircraft is in radar contact in North America, you can track it at this link:  FLIGHT AWARE


After it leaves N. American airspace, it will, most likely, have another tracking device.  When we get the details of how you might be able to follow this, we'll let you know.
