I'll post a map soon along with more parameters. I've asked the video poster where this flight originated from. Eventually I want to fly virtually around the entire perimeter of Antarctica-- watching for any hints of miles, speed, origin of flight, via official info or blogs and various reports. This perimeter tour is turning out to be much more difficult than I had hoped. Part of the problem is just getting organized and collecting the various data points. I would have thought that with the degree of interest and development in Antarctica that the 1968-1972 proposal for a trans Antarctic flight network would have been in place by now. The fact that that proposal has NOT been acted on is a key indicator for me at this time. It implies that its not possible-- or that its existence would make the perimeter distance too easy to discover and too obvious.

Landing at Casey / Wilkes as part of virtual perimeter mission.

Hi, I'm Captain Rick of the Virtual Circumference Voyage of Antarctica. I intend to prove definitively if Earth is flat or a sphere by paying careful attention to how many miles we cover as we travel "around" Antarctica. Flat earth theory says it's 50-60,000 miles. Spherical Earth theory says it 14,000 miles. Join me and ask any questions that you think would help our mission.

Ah, the info about flight times and fuel is under the video - wonder why they call it either Wilkes or Wilkins.
