That PDF is worthy of this amazing voyage, Dan. You forgot to include the number of fantastic pictures you took along the way - I'm guessing 1000s!

I downloaded and started reading your pdf. I´m at the very beginning and it surely will fill the coming shorter days reading it in full. Well done...

Funny thing Hermann, just finished rereading your very nice 2019 tour book. It sure was another inspirational asset

And a look at your statistics shows quite a few similarities, the most striking, you vs me:
- Total flight time 132:39 / 132:23 (yes, only 16 minutes on quite different routes)
- Number of takeoffs 81 / 63 (both with the same amount of landings )
- Average sector length 1:38 / 2:06
- Total fuel used 4330 / 3733 (liters)
- Consumption 32.6 / 28.2 (l/h)

No, no competition here, just some interesting stuff

Yes - same flight time. I remember it was very intense during six weeks - but pure fun!!

It was a pleasure meeting you under the Pavillion

The Homebuilt Pavilion sure was the highlight of AirVenture for me. You could walk in anytime and meet old or new friends
