Arround the globe in 43 hours WITHOUT landing

1

I’m not sure if I’m allowed or how to post anything here, but I’m doing a challenge that I’m proud of and I want to share it.

I’m close to finishing a special flight: Amsterdam to Amsterdam with a KLM A350. Cruising at 32,000 feet at Mach 0.82, I’ve managed to keep it flying for over 43 hours (without landing) in a nearly direct line around the globe.

The route started north through Scandinavia, crossing the Arctic, slipping between Russia and Alaska, then straight into Hawaii. From there, I went directly south to Antarctica, emerged over South Africa, and continued in a straight line north back to Amsterdam.

Almost back to the starting point. Almost full circle. The last 15 min before landing :wink: Enjoy your day :grinning_face:
