-Think you might be right Keith and if correct, not a lot of people know that (outside of France), but I think Guadeloupe might be more accurate than Antigua. ;)

-Am I correct in thinking that the F-O part of the registration is allocated to French Overseas registered aircraft ??

Either that or the previous owner was a fan of the 70s American comedy "Happy Days".
Regarding a Cherokee crossing the Atlantic, somewhere Shelia Scott is smiling. :)
Yes, I know she had a Comanche...:) .
Sounds like a fun trip, it would be an adventure....Lindbergh with a GPS.
A friend flew his TBM 700 to Franch for a TBM owners meet, but somehow I think a turbine would take some of the fun (and most of the stress) out of the trip.

This PA28 Cherokee, F-ONZY landed at Norwich, from Oban, on Saturday for fuel .... not too exciting I thought ! but whilst hanging over the fence to take a photograph or two the pilot came over and was excited that his aircraft was of interest telling me he had flown it from, I believe, Antigua, along the US east coast and via the north atlantic route heading for France !! He was wearing an Oshkosh tee shirt, so i assume he visited there on the way ! stupidly I did not ask his name or get a photo of him with his aircraft .... Am I correct in thinking that the F-O part of the registration is allocated to French Overseas registered aircraft ??
