Sky Polaris
I'm New Here
It has been awhile since we have posted on this forum. Sorry!
The Sky Polaris flight of Michel Gordillo (Madrid, Spain) is on it's second leg. Michel and his highly modified RV-8 are now in Dakar, Senegal ready to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean to land in Natal, Brazil. This is 1800 miles, 3010 kilometers of hand-flying this aircraft across blue water with slim chance of rescue should he ditch.
Please continue to follow the flight via www.skypolaris.org. Updates are posted daily. You can also get updates on Facebook - look for "Cielo Polar- Sky Polaris".
Michel plans to be at the Sun-n-Fun International Fly-in and Expo at Lakeland, FL arriving on April 5, 2016. If you are going, please find Michel and say hello.
Thanks
