Trip from Florida to Ecuador

    In the summer of 2008 or 2009,  Bill Clapp and myself will take our KR2s on a trip from Florida to Ecuador.  We will fly to Key West FL, then along the north coast of Cuba to Cancun Mexico.  From Cancun we will fly south following the coastline of Belize to The bay islands of Honduras.  From Honduras we will fly to Costa Rica, then to Panama.  From Panama we will fly along the coast of Columbia to Ecuador.  We well return along the same route but go into Guatemala to Guatemala City, then north to view some Mayan ruins . We will complete our return back to Cancun then to Key West and back home.

    Bill grew up in Ecuador and knows many MAF pilots in the areas we will be flying.  I will be visiting a child I sponsor in Guatemala.

    We will be using ONC charts for navigation.  Flying will all be VFR to allow for maximum sight seeing.  We are planning for the trip to be two to three weeks in duration.  We are both adding external bearings and turbochargers to our engines.  Because of upgrading our engines and school schedules we may have to wait until 2007 for this trip.

    More information will be posted on this web page as we get closer to the departure date.  The camera mounted in the tail of my KR2 will provide video of our trip and will be posted on this website.
