Gunther, Good luck if you find out anything let me know. I have been talking to the Russian embassy here in DC and all the data I have so far for this round world trip is I must pay a Russian navigator for the privilege to fly there. So far it looks like the navigator tab will be about $4,500. Now, I read not too long ago, a VFR corridor opened between Alaska and Russia. If this is true, then the Russian government may have lightened up. Lining up avgas is also proving to be a problem. I’ll check with the embassy again. I got an idea, to hook up with one of the acro pilots there in Russia and have her/him to act as my navigator. I wonder if they will let me do that? Good luck on your trip. If you get any good information let me know.
