1:08 Bristol Freighter! That takes me back to S.A.F.E (SafeAir) charters during the 1960's cherry picking seasons in Central Otago, New Zealand. I worked for N.A.C. at Dunedin Airport. (N.A.C. was swallowed up in the merger with Air New Zealand in 1978). Every year one of us would be stationed in "Central" to carry out Liaison / Loadmaster duties. This was a highly sought after "perk"... many of the fruit pickers were nubile young students working their way on their "Overseas Experience"... memorable! 😃 😜 May all the experiences on their epic flight be ones that bring them happy memories in fifty years! 👍

Not great weather for the start of his trip! I’m following along to see how he goes!
Seabear looks like the child of a Cessna Cardinal and Grumman Widgeon, where one grandparent was a Beechcraft Bonanza Model 35.
I have Seabear envy.
