Here are those who will be my companions throughout this adventure:
KODIAK 100
The strength of the KODIAK 100 is its efficiency in all circumstances.
Equipped with a 750 hp turbine, it is a powerful machine, easy to use and reliable.
Its flight ceiling of 25,000 ft, and its oxygen equipment, allow the flight over the highest peaks.
It is able to take off and land on very short runways, paved or not.
Its autonomy of around 1,160 nautical miles is perfectly suited to the needs of this epic.
It has the immense advantage of being equipped with high wings which is perfect when you want to admire the terrestrial landscape.
Equipped with a Garmin G1000 Xi and a TCAS, it is an aircraft that combines versatility and safety.
BELL 47
This helicopter will be used for discovery flights.
Its bubble offers perfect vision and, what better than a helicopter, to fly at low altitude and at very low speed.
However, it has a very big drawback: it is not equipped for night flying.
CESSNA Citation Jet 4
This aircraft will have the sole task of covering distances technically impassable by the Kodiak 100.
It will therefore be used very little.
