N211PH's proprosed route of flight.

The flight will be over the North Atlantic for about 30% of the flight. Special overflight, and landing permits will have to be applied for and given for all the African countries, which will be Senegal, Mali, Togo, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Here is the projected route of flight with the distance for each leg in nautical miles. When flying over the ocean certain survival equipment will have to be carried on board the plane. 1. Pilot must wear a survival suit. 2. Life raft. 3. Emergency supplies. Please pray that the weather will be good and that there will be tail winds! The latest that the trip can take place this year will be Oct. 15, after that their will not be sufficient daylight to make some of the longer distances
