He's not going very far.

727 Maximum Range -
Range with maximum payload: 2,140 nautical miles. Range with maximum fuel: 2,400 nautical miles.

And without the proper flight plan he can't get permission to land or refuel at any major airports.

In Africa, I understand a lot of those rules are either non-existant or greatly relaxed. If he's carrying full fuel tanks instead of seats, would that give it wider range?

We were doing the mathmatics on this last night on a similar thread, a veTeran pilot said that getting refueling would not be hard in West Africa paying cash where 5-10% of the country is covered by radar and that the hollowed out plane had a range of getting to London, but not to NYC..

He could confuse a lot of folks with a stolen transponder..

"Range with maximum fuel: 2,400 nautical miles."

Range with extra fuel tanks in seat area???

limited range? not if half of those new tanks are filled with jetfuel and what if the others are filled with .....anything? it would be nice to find this plane.
