Overview - The Challenge

earthI have never been one to just get in an aircraft and burn holes in the sky without actually trying to achieve something specific. So when I was ask just what I intended doing with this aircraft when it was finished, I had to sit down and think for awhile.

Then the idea came to me - LET ME FLY THIS AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE USA! Let me go and show the factory just what I had done with their aircraft! Now that sounded like something specific!

From there the excitement of the challenge just started growing! Then I thought - well I will be in the USA so I should just make a small detour and go and visit Oshkosh. The 'Mecca' for the aviators.

Then the idea expanded further. Seeing as I am almost halfway around the world already why must I turn back and go home the way I have just come. Mark Shuttleworth, our African Astronaut, circumnavigated the globe a few times proving once more that the earth is really round  but on some days I have great 'difficulties' in accepting this information at face value so just to 'convince' myself I thought - 'why not just keep going in the same direction and I should get home thus proving to myself that the world is round.'  

And so Project Dreamwings was born.

The first priority though, in this global plan was to get the aircraft I needed modified to suit me so that it would make this dream easy.
