The Route

The expedition will set off from Hamilton, Ontario, where 23 Service Battalion of the Canadian Forces are providing the heavy stores necessary to keep the team on the road. Tents, cookers, camp beds, tables, chairs, and survival items have all been assembled to become the everyday living accommodation for the pilots and ground crew during the three month trek across America,Canada, and Alaska.

The starting point for the flight North is Crystal Lake on the west coast of Florida.

From here the flight route will track towards Atlanta, crossing the Appalacian mountains, then past Chattanooga, Louisville, and Indianapolis to a point south of Lake Michigan.

From here the planned track passes east of Chicago, through central Wisconsin to Winnipeg in Canada.

The Canadian leg takes the flight past Saskatoon, to Edmonton and Whitehorse, via the Rockies and Alaska Highway to Fairbanks Alaska.The final destination is Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean, 450 miles further North over the Brooks mountains.
