This is the halfway point of the journey, and today was the longest leg of the trip. Only 4 more days of flying remain. I have not talked with John yet, but I expect to communicate with him as soon as he clears customs. Later tonight we will plan for tomorrow. All for the glory of God!

8:28 am CDT - N211PH is over halfway to the Azores. John has reported in using the SPOT as well as relaying position reports through airlines flying over "the pond." He is expected to land in Santa Maria around 2:00 pm CDT. Enlarge the image above to see the SPOT where he last reported.
5:07 am CDT - N211PH departed St. John's at 3:52 CDT bound for Santa Maria, Azores. John called me before he left and was very encouraged by the weather and outlook for today. I just made his hotel reservation in Santa Maria, Azores. The latest SPOT report showed him to be nearly 200 miles off the coast of Newfoundland with around 1200 miles to go.
