Barrington is making the trip in a Columbia 400, built for him by Columbia using donated components. Microsoft have provided support in the form of free flight simulator software for students taking part in the Experience Aviation programs and are hosting a tracking map and route page where one can follow Barrington's progress.
It's marvelous to see such a spirit of adventure and achievement alive and well in the 21C. Let's wish Barrington all the best on his trip.

Did Barrington make it?
Have you heard of the two Indian Air Force pilots who just set a new record of circumnavigating the world, in a microlight, in 79 days, thus breakig the earlier record set by Colin Bodill of the UK? I think they will reach AF Stn Hindon (their point of origin) tomorrow. They commenced on their journey on June 1, 2007.
