KSMX to PHTO in a BE36

Caught this flight this AM leaving for a trip to Hawaii. Over 13 hrs…

Any info on the plane?

Thx

Wow…good catch. I’d say that plane is loaded with some extra tanks and at least one really brave soul!

Something tells me that is a trip where you would really want to watch the winds. It wouldn’t take much of a headwind to eat up whatever extra fuel you had planned.

Brand new Bo on a ferry flight. 5.5 hours down, 8 to go. :frowning:

What the heck do you do during a 13 flight, probably by youself, in a Bonanza? I would be bored out of my mind. Not even anything to see the whole trip.

Apparently this plane is continuing on…another 7 or 8 hours south today.

Those Pacific ferry flights take a set of brass balls IMHO.

There was a great article about those Pacific ferry flights in this months Plane and Pilot. First thing I thought when I saw that was “another Bill Cox ferry flight”. Just found that article online:

Crazy.

Good story WT. Thanks.
