I was at JAX when he landed....his flight lasted 38:40 and he landed with 6 gallons of fuel.Also, he was alone on the flight and told me that he did not sleep during the flight!

"N6ZQ is a Lancair IV that we are currently building specifically for an around the world over both poles flight."

In two weeks, he flew three non-stops -- Indiana to Hawaii, Hawaii to Guam and Guam to Jax. I think we would all be interested in a lot more details; kit mods, fuel considerations, overall voyage planning, etc.

Here's a closer track of his progress.. this will help knowing everything is OK on the long overwater legs where the FAA & F/A can only guess at his location, altitude & speed.

So, I guess he lost his wife somewhere over the Yucatan ? Well, if he was alone and didn't sleep he is unbelievable.I hope he cut some deals before the flight for some sponsoring income from Red Bull, No-Doz, Lancaire, and whoever manufactured the fuel guage. There's some worthwhile commercial stuff here.

LOL, My father told me stories about fighter pilots in pre-ejector-seat times, where to get out you just flew inverted, undid the seatbelt, and literally fell out. In this case it must've been late in the flight, though, 'cos it'd be hard to close the canopy/window again and it'd be cold, but maybe that's how he stayed awake!

you forgot the part of slamming the stick forward with your feet after you roll inverted....to gently expedite your cockpit departure! ha

He did not take anything to stay awake. Had them with him but did not get sleepy.

Awesome! I know this is a special kit built but Lancair/Columbia/Cessna are great platforms. I have taken a long cross country in the plane Eric Lindbergh flew to France and flown 400's since their inception and they are awesome. The kit built side and production side are from the same Lance N. roots and continue to shine.

Where is the aircraft n number so we can see the flight on FlightAware? I knew it left Ormond Beach recently to head out to Guam after a few stops.

Slightly misleading journalism I think, as he was on his own wasn't he?

His fuel burn was probably 13-14 gph

NO, we did the math when he got home on Sunday, it was 9.1gph.

My calculations say it would take about 35 hours.. is FlightAware having trouble with flight times longer than 24 hours?

30 plus hours, over Mississippi now

I'd really like to know more details. There's got to be better coverage on this somewhere.

What a great plan and well performed. And 39 hours sitting next to your wife should get honorable mention - true love. So many things to overcome but he did it. WOW.

He was alone on the flight with 361 gallons of fuel. No room for anything or anyone else.

Does anyone know if he made it to JAX. Flightaware says result unknown, and if so how long was his flight.

The Man in the Lancair is at it again

Looks like he left Guam after a short nap and is now on his way to Jacksonville

Lancair flight exceeds FlightAware capability

Flight tracking was unable to cope with this 39 hour 8,100 sm flight.
(I expect that to be fixed in the next software update.)
