To: Lonesome in Massachussets

Remarkable achievement and a handfull of FIA records, but the entire flight path was north of the Equator. I agree that to qualify as "around the world" the path must cross two antipodes.

The requirement for getting credit when sailing around the globe is to circle two antipodes, since you can never "cross" a point with high confidence.
