Noumea yes, but Papeete asked me to prove my proficiency in French to be able to land at non-international airports in Fr. Polynesia. C'est pourquoi j'ai donné de mon meilleur ...

Re: N430PS completed around-the-world
Congratulations Wolfgang.
I'm looking forward to the final video of Hawaii to Home!
If I buy a -42 or -62, Diamond has a lot to thank you for. I will also be wanting to fly to Timor Leste, Noumea and Fiji from Australia.
Would it be true to say you got all the way around the world without any major technical defects?

Thanks Gordon. Last video of the 12 hour flight Hilo to California is being created on my computer.... No Diamond-related technical defects. Just the prop damage in Pago-Pago, see the Video IV/3. I can give you tips, contacts for the destinations you mentioned.

Re: N430PS completed around-the-world
Wolfgang, you really have a kick-ass attitude - kudos, seriously.
Facing a nasty prop strike at pretty much the worst stop-over on your trip & and Oakland forcing you to turn around out of Hilo due to dodgy HF (they're real strict - no satphone substitute)... - that would really ruin anyone's mood!
But what can one do, except press on - all part of the adventure - with a smile!

Wolfgang that is some great flying. I loved the video. If I were Diamond I'd give you a DA62 and ask you to do it again with more cameras and better audio recording equipment.
