I think this was the longest leg:
CYAY --> BGBW -- D-F13P -- Pilatus PC-6 Porter -- 04:46 -- 685 nm

It's not the first time, I flew this route. Already ferried a C182, Super Cub and the Boeing Stearman via the same route.

Sounds good. Would be possible that you write down all the legs or just the important Waypoints? Then i could fly the same route. How long did it take you to fly this route by the way?

It took about 51 hours.
Simply look into the log file of the aircraft:

When I bought the Porter, I owned a FBO at Robinson AFB, Arkansas.
So I flew her to the south first. But then I sold the FBO and decided to ferry the Porter to Europe.

Pretty nice Route, even for a Porter, but you know what follows now :P

Nah, not this time, hehe. I'm glad we have fun with FSE, and we all work together. So big thanks for Peter, who makes this possible, and even delivers 1A Sceneries! Chapeau. Thanks Peter!
