Thread: Round the World the Easy Way

    Hey All,

    Moses according to the factory literature the Kodiak should get 1032nm over 5.9 hours at 12,000 ft and 174 KTAS with a one hour reserve. Right now I think it'll reach - barring any outrageous headwinds.

    After a short break in Montevideo I set off for Piracununga-Campo Fontenelle (SBYS) Sao Paulo Brazil as I had a delivery to make. Seems I promised a case of Chilean wine to the fellow on the beach near Chacalluta (SCAR) who orginally sent me south. Nice night flight most all the way - some buffeting from the winds but not bad.

    Hey All,

    Turns out the guy on the beach was none other than Guilherme Marchi! he was kind enough to have an assistant pick me up - seems they all have corvettes - and drove me the 17 miles to Leme where we got to crack a couple of of those wine bottles to celebrate his finally - after being the bridesmaid the last 3 years in a row - becoming the 2008 World Champion Bull Rider! What a tough sport to be second in so many times!

    I've got a feeling the flight tomorrow is gonna be another tough one! :costumes:

    Here's a video of one of Guilherme's outstanding rides at the 2008 finals - Copperhead Slinger is the bull.

    Curious how the LPGA is so heavily dominated by Korean players and the Professional Bull Riding Circuit has more than it's share of Brazilians and they are good!

    PS Had to get a bit more bull ridin in! :mixedsmi:
