Miami to Brazil in a small plane

[Bergenor]

I friend sells airplanes to Brazil and has them going down pretty often and asked me if i needed a ride he would let me fly with him..........
So now i have some questions..
Is there any "google maps" web site that would show me the most used flightplane??
He doens't fly at night,so it would be a 8 hours flight,most small planes have to refuel every 4 hours,so one can only pee every 4 hours????
Would be boring??
Im afraid that I'll get bored and go nuts like Jack Nickolson in The Shining!!!!
I like to take pics,would that be a good chance??
Did any one in here do that before??
Thanks

Totally dependent on the plane and it's fuel burn. You can pee whenever you want, though.

Would be boring??

WTF?? HELL NO!!! I'll go if you don't want to

Im afraid that I'll get bored and go nuts like Jack Nickolson in The Shining!!!!

Don't bring a typewriter

I like to take pics,would that be a good chance??

Consensus around here will be: YOU MUST TAKE PICTURES! Document the whole damn trip and when you get back, you damn well better post it in here. If you don't, we will hunt you down and beat you. We have ways.

Did any one in here do that before??

I wish. I'd give a testicle for a trip like that

[Bergenor]

LMAO..........thanks.
I guess that i have to go now

[Brendan@bwalkauto]

Do it! It's not going to be as boring as you think, since you're a lot closer to the ground, and the trip is interrupted by fuel stops. It's going to be a total blast, and you should do it.

This sounds like the beginning of an episode of locked up abroad. Just make sure its legit and not loaded with drugs.

[Bergenor]

^^^^^ good point

I dont think that they would send drugs from here to Brazil,I'm no expert,but i bet that its cheaper down there.So it would not make sense to send it from here.
4 planes leaving until the end of the month,but I cant talk myself to pull the trigger.

DO IT.

Edit: Find out what models the 4 planes are and I'll tell you which will be the better ride.

[Imaslipper]

He better go...

Non-pilot nor aviation nut here. You're a goddamned fool if you don't take take him up on this.

I'd do it in a heartbeat!
Every time you blow off a chance you get to explore new places, I drown puppies.

That said, check out www.aneclecticmind.com/
It's rotary wing, but she highlights a lot of good iPhone/iPad software and pilot issues.

Sounds like a blast, though if your friend asks you to swallow a bunch of condoms filled with some sort of powder, you should probably say no.

hahaha... Sometimes the most complex of problems have the simplest of solutions

[vwbrvr6]

Did you end up going with him. Hope so. Was this the trip?

[Bergenor]

Hey guys,Im in jail in Manaus,Brazil.
Please send me some money so i can get out here.......I will text you the bank info.


I haven't gone yet,gone there 2x already but with commercial airlines(avoid COPA Airlines) if you are flying anywhere in the world.

While i was there few weeks ago,we used two diff King Airs,one GTI Or GTX and a bigger one,10 people or so.Cool planes,some scary landings on some dirty tracks.

Gota go,Jose wants me to massage his back.........

[YEAHTOM]

That's awesome news, except the Jose part! Please get some pictures and start posting them up when you get a chance.
