Round the World in a RV-9A
Epic flight John, many congratulations. Glad I was able to follow it as it unfolded. Hope you are considering writing a book about your flight. I'd love to add it to my collection of RTW flights.

RTW Flight
An amazing accomplishment! This appears to be the 232nd single engine around the world flight in a light airplane.
Earthrounders.com is an excellent website on this subject.
The first single engine was the Douglas World Cruisers in 1924. Four started, two completed the flight.
The first homebuilt was Don Taylor in 1976 in a Thorp T18.
Steve Fossett did it solo nonstop.

It just boggles the mind that a little RV can do this epic voyage. Gives me inspiration!
