South Pacific crossing
VAF,
Tomorrow I depart for Pago Pago and will prepare for the upcoming long legs. The plane holds up to 124 gallons of fuel, but even with this capacity I will need to fly fairly slowly to ensure the range.
I had hoped to be in Oshkosh by this time. Weather delays in the far north and illness in India slowed down my progress.

Good luck John. What is your setup for the extra fuel? |

RTW Flight
Hi John.
Just wanted to say that I'll be watching your flight across the Pacific back to California.
Safe travels.

John left Pago Pago to his next stop at Christmas Island. It initially appeared he was going to try for HI, but he just recently turned towards Christmas Island. Or, perhaps he was just optimizing winds.
What a journey - I can't even begin to imagine it.

Must have been winds. Looks like he is tracking Cassidy International now. What a flight.

I have lost tracking on John through the app on the website. Does anyone else have a track or a position?

I had heard from him that his plan was to go non stop to Hilo and bypass CXI because the fuel situation there was questionable...

No tracking either. This is not the first time tracking was not working.
