🌊 The Atlantic Adventure

To OSH

Retford Gamston to Oshkosh the long way round — via Scotland, the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland and Canada. 20 legs, flown one at a time.

Following The Flying Reporter

This year The Flying Reporter flew for real from Blackbushe in England, across the North Atlantic, to EAA Air Venture at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, raising money for charity as he went.

I'm retracing his route in the sim (although I started in Gamston), stop for stop. Every leg is logged on FSHub, and this page tracks where I've got to. Solid lines on the map are the tracks I actually flew. Dashed lines are the legs still to come.
