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..
