Never seen a US registered Cessna over here though. The hurricane blew him over there...

It was "Brothers to the Rescue" with a gross nav error. Too many mojitos prior to liftoff...

Nope.
I take it you mean that kind of Cessna.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Proper flight planning, leaning of fuel, use of Jet streams, and a tremendous amount of luck---no. They could still ditch and float there. So technically..yes!

I try to do this daily in IL-2: Cliffs of Dover but die horribly... The lucky buggar managed to pull it off in real life! A bit of skill that.

Ok, so I'll ask another way... How did the N numbered little green plane get there? Alaksa - Russia - Europe... I'd rather go that way than Canada - Greenland - Iceland - With ferry tanks I suppose you could do anything..they allow you to be stupid for much longer durations..

Quite a few GA aircraft in Europe are flying on a US registration, largely to bypass some laws here in Europe. Yep. Cheaper maintenance, and some different license regulations compared to JAA regs. You have to have an FAA license to fly an N-regged plane.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
