Sounds like a Biden connection here… didn’t he through his corrupt son have deals there?

Looks like some Marine chose the registration code.

Helicopters are great for hovering. Not so great for traveling. A trip that long in one might be punishment. Same kind of thing goes for aerobatic airplanes. Not great for flying in a straight line for hours on end.

How does one get Flight unAware to allow entry of registration?

Neat.

There are routes, remnants of Bluie and Crimson from delivering airplanes to WWII.

Greenland to Iceland and Iceland to the Faroe Islands are very long legs, must have had ferry tank.

(Unless there are islets with fuel along the way, even ones called ‘barge’.
I worked with old timer pilots who claimed to have flown Empire Flying Boats across the north Atlantic, landing beside barges if necessary.
My reading today suggests those were ‘connect the empire’ fights, few pax, not viable so only a few flights made.

The Faroe Islands being the closest runways to Iceland on Great
Circle routing.)

Looks like they flew this route:
CYMX CYBC CYZV CYYR CYVP -discontinuity- BIKF BIEG ekvg EGPC EGCM EGKB ELLX LSZH LKPR LKMT UKLL UKBB
Interesting that there’s no record between Canada and Iceland. I guess they didn’t file IFR for those legs. But they left CYVP going north. Maybe they flew to CYFB, then BGGH, BGKK?
That’s an epic 26 day trip!
