Mission Accomplished! Ferry Flight 17-21 May 2010 - Robinson R22 helicopter

Ferry Flight - Torrance California to Birchwood Alaska in a Robinson R22

The ferry flight took us 34.8 hours of flying and our flight path was approximately 2500 nautical miles over 5 days of flying. If you click on each helicopter it will give you a little description of that particular stop. We did have some MVFR weather on our first leg out of Torrance, California and again around the Fort St. John and Fort Nelson, BC, Canada areas. Other than that we fought quite a bit of turbulence in most areas. Whew! What an adventure. As I get a little more time I'll try and shed some more light on our trip.
